The ACA is not an example of fascism.

But do you ever answer a post without....
"but, but...Obama...."
"yay team"

Read the article, despite it's tone, it's actually informative and enlightening

You should perhaps see what huffpo or the kos have to say about the credibility of the site you patronize and rely on.

Second... a little knowledge about fascism as an economic model might help you form more accurate opinions.

a little knowledge about fascism as an economic model

I have a great deal of knowledge about the same, and you are consistently wrong in your interpretation of political ideology to the point concepts become nonsensical.

General characteristics of fascist economies [edit]

An inherent aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigisme, [4] meaning an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence over investment, as opposed to having a merely regulatory role. In general, apart from the nationalizations of some industries, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state. [5]

Fascism operated from a Social Darwinist view of human relations. The aim was to promote superior individuals and weed out the weak. [6] In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class. [7] Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest. [8] Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise... Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social." [9]

One significant fascist economic belief was that prosperity would naturally follow once the nation has achieved a cultural and spiritual re-awakening. [10] Often, different members of a fascist party would make completely opposite statements about the economic policies they supported. [11] Once in power, fascists usually adopted whatever economic program they believed to be most suitable for their political goals. Long-lasting fascist regimes (such as that of Benito Mussolini in Italy) made drastic changes to their economic policy from time to time. Stanley Payne argues that while fascist movements defended the principle of private property, which they held "inherent to the freedom and spontaneity of the individual personality", a common aim of all fascist movements was elimination of the autonomy or, in some cases, the existence of large-scale capitalism. [12]

The fascists opposed both international socialism and liberal capitalism, arguing that their views represented a third way. They claimed to provide a realistic economic alternative that was neither laissez-faire capitalism nor communism. [13] They favoured corporatism and class collaboration, believing that the existence of inequality and separate social classes was beneficial (contrary to the views of socialists). [14] Fascists argued that the state had a role in mediating relations between these classes (contrary to the views of liberal capitalists). [15]

In most cases, fascists discouraged or banned foreign trade; fascists believed that too much international trade would make the national economy dependent on international capital, and therefore vulnerable to international economic sanctions. Economic self-sufficiency, known as autarky, was a major goal of most fascist governments. [16]

Fascism was highly militaristic, and as such, fascists often significantly increased military spending. It also emphasized privatization. [17][18][19]

Essential features of the economies of the fascist states [edit]

The concept of "state monopoly capitalism" (MMC) describes approximately the same phenomenon as the "dirigisme" - a policy of active intervention in the management of the economy of the state. The author of "An Economic History of Twentieth-Century Europe" (Cambridge, 2006), Ivan T. Berend said the economy of Nazi Germany just these features: the government has a strong control action, effectively controlling the production and distribution of resources. On the whole, except in a few cases, nationalization of the economy of the fascist states developed on the basis of private property and of private initiative, but it was subordinated to the tasks of the state. As part of the relations between workers and employers fascism was guided by the principles of social Darwinism: the strongest prosper, while the weaker are rooted out. In economic practice this meant on the one hand, protecting the interests of successful businessmen, on the other the destruction of trade unions and other organizations of the working class, "the use of extreme violence to suppress the working class and all working people." As he wrote in 1936, Gaetano Salvemini, saying the responsibility of taxpayers to private capitalist enterprises, the state thus covers failures of the capitalists' profits - business and private individual; loss - public and social work ". The fascist government approved pursuit of private profit and gave significant concessions to large corporations, requiring instead that all of their economic activities serve the public interest. An essential element of the economic doctrines of the Nazi party was the belief that the economic suffering of the exploited classes will go into the past as soon as the nation completes its cultural and spiritual revival, the official anthem of the NSDAP, "Horst Wessel" promised "to live long slavery" (German: Die Knechtschaft dauert nur mehr kurze Zeit). However, since the destruction of the issues of exploitation has long been staged in Germany, in particular, and German Social Democrats, on the level of ordinary members of the NSDAP there was not unanimity on this issue and often their views on economic policy were diametrically opposed . Coming to power, the Nazis adapted its economic doctrine to political expediency. fascist regimes that have lasted a long time (such as Italy under Mussolini), observed regular, sometimes substantial revisions of economic policy. In 1919, at a rally on the square in Milan Sepolkro San, Benito Mussolini said:

"We want to be aristocrats and democrats, conservatives and liberals, reactionaries and revolutionaries, legalists and antilegalists - depending on the circumstances of the time, place and situation."

Sounds like progressivism to me... lol. Anything sound familiar to y'all?

Here's an even better description: http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Fascism.html

"An inherent aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigisme, [4] meaning an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence over investment, as opposed to having a merely regulatory role. In general, apart from the nationalizations of some industries, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state. [5]"

The first paragraph shows what a moron you are Pkr.

If they had any desire to be intellectually honest... they could not read this law and reconcile the changes to obamacare.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_Procedure_Act

The waivers and exemptions and delays and changes were exactly what the apa sought to end forever after fdr.

The leftists can call it anything they want... but the direction govt is heading is authoritarian and dictatorial.

They'll have no reason or desire to do that so long as they have their progressive leaders in control. Then they'll scream and holler when the similar types of action are taken by others...

Just as they cried bloody murder over the innocents killed and money spent on the sanctioned military actions of the last administration and look the other way now when their isn't even Congressional approval for the military adventurism the current administration conducts.
