don't forget globalism.

Concentrated power for the gratification of the power hungry is very different than a people pulling together for the good of their motherland.

So, we don't have to live in a Fascist State?

Ironically, it sounds like we are in a Fascist State, so why would you complain? You have what you want!

We do not live in a fascist state. We live in a land of selfishness and nihilism.

It has been proven time and again that a person with absolute power, no matter their original intent, ends up abusing that power.

One person would not have absolute power in my concept of Social Fascism. I certainly do not want another Hitler.

All systems of (unchecked) concentrated power are essentially corrupt, social/situational psychology makes this as obvious as history.

The state itself is a violent institution so when this power is focused on things like Nationalism they become detrimental to its own population, not to mention other populations.
