Fascism For Freedom

[Joseph Tracy]

My point was that Nixon was pragmatic and what he did stuck,  China  
became cheap labor for the capitalists, the dollar became the world's  
primary reserve currency, Chile put the kebosh for decades on Latin  
American countries' move to nationalize extractive industries, while  
Hitler brought himself and his country to ruin. The comparison is a  
stretch but I think of fascism as a broader pattern than the specific  
and unique horrors perpetrated by the Nazis.  The Japanese were also  
cruel and ruthless and aggressive but we don't have the same image of  
them as the incarnation of evil. To the people bombed, starved ,  
tortured and terrorized during the Johnson Nixon Reagan years   
probably hard to tell the difference between one boot and another.  
For decades the POTUS has been called the leader of the "free" world.
