[quote=Ricechex]Zeitgeist and ScaredyCat…please stop this bickering. It is superficial and throwing jabs when none is due. I think references comparing anyone to Hitler are not valid, I have heard Jews (yes Jews) in my workplace refer to a boss as “Hitler.” Not cute. “Hitler” has come to mean, “people that are bad and controlling and cause you grief.” People referred to GW as a Hitler. Yeah, he was bad, as most politicians, but he certainly was not Hitler. It is just silly ignorance IMO. The true Hitler in our world is NOT a single man, it is an entire group of men comprising banks, corporations and government. Many are complicit in this scheme, there are too many to name one, and thus very difficult to infiltrate and overthrow. Our villain is not easily identifiable.[/quote]
Bingo!
We no longer get real dictators such as a Hitler or Stalin. We get money syndicates in Savile Row suits, cartels of robber barons, banking racketeers and their political enabling sychophants.
The state is going to take more and more control, that’s for sure, but out of pragmatism for the powerful not out of political ideology.
