Here is a good description of the type of fascism that has enveloped the entire world now that the USA has succumbed to it. I think the author is correct in that this is the type of government that the majority of people want. The author calls it 'participatory fascism,' and I think that is a good term. It is what George Bush pushed, and what John McCain proposed. I think Obama would like something more like Mussolini had, and I hope people resist that, but they may not. We have a lot of people now who desire an autocratic leader.
