Welcome to Gaia! ::

President Bush, is not a fascist indeed. I'm a hard line leftist saying this. He his however, a very vocal and cookie cutter bourgeois. If I had to think of the modern day bourgeois, the first image that comes to mind would be one like President Bush. He is absolutely everything that the bourgeoisie has always wanted. Why do you think corperations love him so much? Why do his decisions often favor the rich business owner? Or just the rich in general?

Though Bush isn't a fascist, he is bourgeois, blatently and obviously, as nearly every member of the American government is. Fascism, I wouldn't doubt looks like a decent proposition to him, but as it is capitalism in the most abject decay, that road is not going to be traveled, especially since the American Bourgeoisie fears deeply the American workers, which are currently sleeping.

Fascists can have religion, but Hitler, who was a Hitlerist-fascist, did not embrace it as much as he could have.


I am familiar with many kinds of Anarchism, and to be truthful, the origonal Anarchist, Joseph Pierre Proudhon, although opposed by Karl Marx et al, was very close to Marx's goals. It is just that Marx had very clear guide-lines to follow, as well as a strict social plan to acheive a society without need, capital, or private property. He also recognizes the existance of a class conflict, which seems lost on Proudhon. As well as realizing that humans must reproduce their own existance before they can do anything else. The society most anarchists envision, with petty artistans working freelancedly, is impossible in todays day and age without an extreme population drop. The other anarchist ideal, of modern society without government, cannot be done; else every citizen forms a social contract with eachother rather than a state and is totally on board and capable of doing so. Marx already has these things in place, as do his contemporaries. Through the proletarian state socialism will be achieved.
