Politics | The American Gestapo
I read "Extremism, or The Art of Smearing" in Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal today. I came across a paragraph that is worth quoting, because it sums up the main choice of this election:
It is obvious what the fraudulent issue of fascism versus communism accopmlishes: it sets up, as opposites, two variants of the same political system; it elimnates the possibility of considering capitalism; it switches the choice of "Freedom or dictoatorship?" into "Which kind of dictatorship?"—thus establishing dictatorship as an inevitable fact and offering only a choice of rulers. The choice—according to the proponents of that fraud—is: a dictatorship of the rich (fascism) or a dictatorship of the poor (communism).
So there's the choice; not whether Bush or Kerry is the more honest.
