Fascist Gun in the West

"The fascist state is the corporate state." - Benito Mussolini

Courtesy of Naomi Wolf and her fabulous book "The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot" comes a list of what constitutes a classic fascist state:

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens’ groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law

Yes, I know, how tedious. You may now return to corporate-owned news, where a media lynching is already in progress.
