Michael Parenti - Fascism: The False Revolution

Program Title: Michael Parenti - Fascism: The False Revolution
Description: Fascism is a term that is bandied about often rather loosely. Orwell wrote that it is understood to be “something not desirable.” But it is a complex political and economic synergy that has force and nationalism as its animating matrix. And it involves propaganda and the manipulation of the masses by the media. Mussolini, in one of his more honest moments said, “Fascism should be more properly called corporatism since it is the merger of state and corporate power.” For Americans, it is universally associated with despotic regimes in other countries. It can’t happen here. Huey Long, the self-styled populist governor of Louisiana, once warned, “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come wrapped in an American flag.”
