Obama is a Fascist

Every debate I ever participated in definitions had to be agreed upon, so I don’t understand where con got the idea of 1st come first serve. Con claims my definition is made up. It is nothing of the short. Fascism is the belief in organizing society into interest groups known as “syndicates” or “corporations”, which is unrelated to business corporations, other than a common etymology. A major aspect of corporatism/syndicalism is collective bargaining, and the promotion of social justice. (1)(2) Mussolini said, “Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power. ” (3) Corporatism is neither Capitalism nor Marxism combining aspects of both to achieve to create a “third way”. Corporatism aims to achieve de facto nationalization without achieving de jure nationalization. (1)(2) Fascists/corporatists believe in allowing private ownership, but believe in controlling how property is used. Mussolini described fascism as “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. ” A typical aspect of Corporatist regimes is large government projects that are “too large to be funded by private enterprise”. (1)(2) An example of fascism is the German labour front. The German labour front was a national union designed to help workers, and to give the state a means to control and direct industries. It was through the German Labour Front that the Nazis built the Autobahn (4) The New Deal was influenced by Italian corporatism, and was the basis of programs such as the TVA, and the recovery act. (1) Abraham Lincoln was a Fascist. Abraham Lincoln was a nationalist, who believed in national republicanism. Lincoln advocated the creation of a unitary state. Lincoln’s political affiliation is not the topic of this debate. Con claims that the declaration of independence is fascist. It’s nothing of the short. The declaration of independence is individualist. The declaration of independence does not advocate strength through unity, it advocates secession. Con contradicted himself, first claiming that opposing secession was fascist, than claiming advocating secession was fascist. The declaration of independence also promotes individual liberty, over the collective good. Con also claims that a federation is fascist; this is false. In a federation the member states and union state shares sovereignty. For it to be fascist, the constitution would have to establish a unitary state. Under the US constitution the State governments have more powers than the federal government. 21st century fascism Con claims that 21st century fascism is not the same as 20th century fascism. To back up this outrageous claim he says that 21st Mormonism is not the same as 19th century Mormonism, because they “don’t condone [polygamy] anymore”. In actuality they still do condone polygamy, and they still follow the book of Mormon. I urge con to watch sister wives on TLC. Clinton's endorsement of Obama. Con didn’t refute Clinton’s endorsement of Obama. He simply said it was normal political rhetoric. According to the agreed definition of a fascist, a fascist is someone who advocates or adheres to the principles of fascism. Business and Government actually working together to promote broadly shared prosperity Take for example Obamacare. Although Obamacare is not de jure nationalization, it is de facto nationalization. It requires that every citizen purchase health insurance, and grants the federal government the authority to regulate how insurance companies should conduct business. Obamacare organizes hospitals and individual medical practices into Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). ACOs are fascist corporations, designed to help government organize and coordinate the private sector for the collective good. (5)(6) Shared opportunities, shared responsibility, shared prosperity, a shared sense of community In 1995 Obama said in an interview, “We, collectively, can decide on our fate, that things like technological change, things like mass media, things like the market are all subject to our control, that we can make decisions for better or for worse and continue to move forward and progress. ” Collectivists advocate collective decision making. They believe if that what is good for the aggregated community is best, rather than what is good for the general community. (adj) corporate, collective (done by or characteristic of individuals acting together)(7) (adj) collective (forming a whole or aggregate) (7) . http://www.youtube.com... The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a collectivist policy, where the state promotes growth in selected industries at the expense of the individuals within the community. Stimulus spending is collectivist in that it puts the aggregated good above the general good. (8) Another collectivist policy is protectionism. Protectionism is a form of economic nationalism which imposes economic policies designed to promote the national economy over the international and regional economies. Obama has backed protectionism on tire imports from china, which would not only harm the global economy, but also regional economies that depend on those imports. . http://www.youtube.com... Other than economic collectivism, Obama has also supported social collectivism. The national security measures passed by the Bush administration have been expanded by the Obama administration, and now they now apply to US citizens. Obama has unconstitutionally authorized the assassination of US citizens abroad, by unconstitutionally declaring them traitors. He has also reversed the 1878 ban on using the military for domestic issues. (9) The American Nazi Party Endorsed Obama in 2008 Con claims that an endorsement by the chairman of a party does not reflect the ideals of the party. Adolf Hitler was the chairman of the Nazi party in Germany, and Mussolini was the chairman of the fascist party in Italy. It is safe to say that endorsement by the chairman/fuhrer of a fascist party is tantamount to endorsement by the party. Ku Klux Klan endorsed Obama Con claims that the KKK endorsed Obama, and therefore an endorsement is not a sign of similar ideology. The fact of the matter is the KKK endorsed Obama because the KKK tends to vote democrat. It might not be reflective of Obama’s personal beliefs, but it is reflective of their shared political beliefs. The longest sitting Democratic Senator (Robert Byrd) was a KKK leader, who filibustered the civil rights act. In addition to this, good ol' boys tend to be more sexist than racist. The KKK would rather have a black man as president than a white woman. If Hillary was a guy, the KKK would have endorsed Hillary over Obama. Summary Fascism is the collectivist doctrine advocating strength through unity, the centralization of society and government, and the categoration of groups within society. Obama has advocated the aggregated good over the general good. Obama is a corpratist who believes in de facto nationalization without de jure nationalization. Obama believes in promoting national security over individual liberty. 1. ) . http://www.sjsu.edu... 2. ) . http://www.princeton.edu... 3. ) . http://www.brainyquote.com... 4. ) . http://www.feldgrau.com... 5. ) . http://seekingalpha.com... 6. ) . http://www.healthcare.gov... 7. ) . http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu... 8. ) . http://www.recovery.gov... 9. ) . http://www.allgov.com...
