fascism

[Charles Brown]

How about Jim Crow and 
Indian Reservations as a candidate
for U.S fascism ?  Even
a pre-Italian fascism.

This is vacuous. The US never had a fascist historical background. If it had
"continuing imperial ties" to dascism, it was only in the sense that all
capitalsit countries have global ties. Britain too never had a fascist
background. There was of course appeasement, which is a sort of historical
tie, in the 30s, closer than anything the US had, but if the suggestion is
that capitalsim leads inelectably to fascism or some such Third Period
nonsense, this is foolishness.
