You don't see some of the following characteristics from the current figureheads for the neocon party? Under the "Core Tenents" section of the wiki article you cited: "Fascists see the struggle of nation and race as fundamental in society' date=' in opposition to communism's perception of class struggle." "Italian fascists described expansionist imperialism as a necessity....Fascists oppose pacifism and believe that a nation must have a warrior mentality." "fascism tends to be anti-intellectual." "Fascist government in Italy banned literature on birth control and increased penalties on abortion in 1926, declaring them both crimes against the state." "Fascism tends to promote principles of masculine heroism, militarism, and discipline; and rejects cultural pluralism and multiculturalism." "Italian Fascism involved corporatism, a political system in which economy is collectively managed by employers, workers and state officials by formal mechanisms at national level." ------------------------ I'm not saying it's wholly neocon, because there's some dem platform stuff too. I'm just saying that when people call figureheads 'fascist's that they're usually right on some level just because the Fascism movement is full of seemingly contradictory platforms. Which, makes the whole name calling silly, but I digress. I just liked the Sinclair's quote. "Religion is the opiate of the masses" ~Marx
