The Utopian Capitalist

An intermittently maintained placeholder for random clips, bits, observations, paranoid fantasies, links, quotes, and other stuff which would otherwise emailed randomly. Pseudonymous to respect the fiction of internet anonymity. Who am I? A somewhat disgruntled (not yet curmudgeonly) fellow, inconsistent, contrary, generally optimistic, still idealistic (some say naive) explorer of the world and its wonders. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do - is this Blog a mere substitute for real action?

How Do You Like Your Fascism?

Sleepwalking towards a police state.......where is the outrage?

And I'm not sure discussion is the right response - full throated yelling, at a minimum, IMHO, is required.

We are living through an extraordinary period in US history, with the same battle lines as in revolutionary times. The ironic, 1984-ish aspect is that Republicans = Tories, and the patriots are barely awake. And the Neo-Tories are way better organized, motivated, and mean than the Loyalists ever were.

Elections are becoming a corrupt sideshow; government is increasingly controlled by predatory private interests, and the country is lulled into supine apathy by corporatist pablum.

Perhaps we need a depression to wake everybody up and crush the greedy bastards who would destroy the country.
