Ärende: The US wanna-be dictator
================================
Hello Bjorn,

>JB>I think we are all in the same pot.

BF>I agree. That's why we all need Pirate parties to pop up all over the
BF>world. We are at the moment the only political movement that can oppose
BF>the fascist(1) movements all over the world.

There is even the beginnings of a Pirate Party in the USA.

BF>(1) Fascism was originally an Italian political movement from the
BF>1920s that had as its prime ideology that the companies and the
BF>politicians should work together to form a society ruled by the CEOs and
BF>the MPs, since they were the only ones that understood what the ordinary
BF>people really needed. Need I remind y'all about how well this rhymes
BF>with capitalism in general and US policy, since about half a decade
BF>back, in particular?

All democracies have fascist tendencies.  Sweden is no exception.
And neither is the USA.  If fascism were to take hold in the USA,
it would most likely be under the Mussolini model.  With one very
distinct difference.  Fascism with a smile would be the best way
one could describe Fascism USA-style.  We would send entertainers,
such as Brad Pitt and Angelie Jolie, Sean Penn, Harry Connick Jr.,
etc., all over the world as goodwill ambassadors.  We would have
the Harlem Globetrotters (decked out in their usual red, white
and blue uniforms) return to the Olympics to win another gold
medal.  We would change the U.S. Constitution to allow Arnold
Schwarzenegger become the first Austrian to be elected President
of the United States.  And we would then have another Kennedy
as first lady...
