How can the US be fascist if we have elections and the US Constitution? Ok, I’ll explain…
US policy is fascist in unlawful Wars of Aggression, obvious torture, paper-thin propaganda to expand US war to Iran, blatant violation of international treaties with WMD, transfer of TRILLIONS of our tax dollars to financial elites, and corporate media prostitution service to propagandize the above facts to an awakening American public.
This assessment is objectively factual as political theory defines fascism. Res ipsa loquitur translates roughly into “the facts speak for themselves;” with the above list of documented facts as independently verifiable evidence proving beyond reasonable doubt American fascism in those defining areas of US government.
Let’s compare how a constitutional republic would respond in these crucial policies, then address the strongest arguments against the assertion of American fascism: popular elections and the presence of the US Constitution.
The constitutional republic Americans are promised, with Congress and Executive officers sworn to uphold:
A constitutional republic, in contrast to fascist current war policy, would honor US law and UN Security Council restraint to use our military only under the narrow legal definition of self-defense, mindful of the many lessons of history that war since WW2 kills civilians as the vast majority and up to 90% of the total death total (in Iraq, the total is over a million from all peer-reviewed independent studies).
A constitutional republic would have transparent procedures for treatment of detainees. Because the US is an unlawful invading force in Iraq and Afghanistan, any acts taken are unlawful; and just made worse through US torture. Of course American troops will be attacked by patriots defending their nation from invasion. To help imagine this, think what Americans would do if China invaded the US.
