Fascism is the system of government that cartelizes the private sector, centrally plans the economy to subsidize producers, exalts the police state as the source of order, denies fundamental rights and liberties to individuals, and makes the executive state the unlimited master of society.
This describes mainstream politics in America today. And not just in America. It's true in Europe, too. It is so much part of the mainstream that it is hardly noticed any more.
Read most of the gripes of OWS and replace the word 'banker' with 'Jews'. Then read a little history, say around 1938 to about 1946 or so, focusing on Europe.
