Okay, then what kind of evidence or logic would convince you that the United States is not currently on the road to fascism (or already there)?
To convince me that fascism is here, I'd have to see large numbers -- thousands -- of US citizens being treated in the same way that the prisoners in Guantanamo are being treated (incarcerated without legal basis, not charged, tortured). I might be in jail myself. The ACLU wouldn't be allowed to appeal. You wouldn't see members of the leading (vanguard?) party complaining about restrictions on civil liberties.

That's right. I'm against repression even when it's not facist. It doesn't have to be labelled "fascist" to be opposed.
