 ==Tom and NPOV tag== 
 TomtheHand, according to Wikipedia policy, you're supposed to discuss in Talk why you're putting an NPOV tag on an article, so the problem, if there is one, can be fixed. I'm going to have to remove it again, unless you explain. No one else seems to have an NPOV problem with the article. If they do, they can put the tag on and EXPLAIN. The tag is supposed to be a tool so the POV can be removed. If you don't explain, then there's nothing that can be done to fix what you percieve to the problem.   

 :RJII, EVERYONE has an NPOV problem with the article.  I have no idea why the tag was removed in the first place.  The entire article misleads the reader into thinking that the middle ground between communism and capitalism is economic fascism.  It is my hope that the NPOV tag will encourage others to come and contribute to the page.   

 ::I think you're wrong. No one has expressed a NPOV problem in quite awhile. You're the only one. So you need to explain the problem so we can fix it. The NPOV tag is not supposed to be used as a permanent branding just because you don't like the article.   

 :::My definition of ""quite awhile"" extends for more than a couple of hours, so I consider Ekpardo, max rspct, SpinyNorman, and James James, who all expressed the opinion that the article was POV within the last few days, to constitute an adequate group to say that there may be issues with the article.  My issue is that the article implies that you can have fascist economics without being a fascist nation; that is, if you apply certain economic policies, you're practicing fascism.   

 ::::Where does it imply that? It simply mentions sources that claim that. No one has to agree with the sources. It even says in opposition: ""It should also be noted that just because a nation or government has some of the characteristics listed above, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are employing the economics of fascism...""  So where is the POV?    

 == Propaganda! == 

 The NPOV tag is on because you are writing an article of propaganda (saying democratic intervention = fascism), and writing it as a logical free-market economic theory WHICH IT IS NOT. Economists don't go around debating philosophy. 
 *A reader searching for this article would obviously be looking for comparisons between Fascist countries economic policies.  Instead, the entire damn article is about different ways at viewing the convoluted arguement that any sort of government intervention in the economy = Hitler and Mussolini. 
 *This article presents pov arguements as facts.  The biggest example of this is the use of the phrase ""economics of fascism."" 
 *The article provides false assurances of ligitimacy: 
 ::...just because a nation or government has some of the characteristics listed above, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are employing the economics of fascism, but may simply be sharing some or many similiar characteristics 
 :::Good thing that clears it up: don't make any mistake!  The fascist charactaristics might not neccesarily mean the final solution is near, it could just be policy of fascists! A = a. 
 *Similar to actual fascist propaganda techniques, this article goes to great lengths to encourage a shallow view.  Instead of there being many different policies, some of which fascists used in some form, this article follows the simple formula.  fascists did A, instead of B, B is not fascist, therefore followers of A are fascist-like. 

 RJII is a professional, and it scares me. 

 Here are the techniques that the Nazis used in their propaganda: 

 #Name Calling  ""Name Calling"" is a device to make us form a judgment without examining the evidence on which it should be based. Here the propagandist appeals to our hate and fear. 
 #Glittering Generalities  ""Glittering Generalities"" is a device by which the propagandist identifies his program with virtue by use of ""virtue words.""  
 #Transfer  ""Transfer"" is a device by which the propagandist carries over the authority, sanction, and prestige of something we respect and revere to something he would have us accept. 
 #Testimonial  The ""Testimonial"" is a device to make us accept anything from a patent medicine or a cigarette to a program of national policy. 
 #Plain Folks   ""Plain Folks"" is a device used by politicians, labor leaders, business men, and even by ministers and educators to win our confidence by appearing to be people like ourselves—""just plain folks among the neighbors.""
