"There is a direct correlation around the planet between the level of tyranny and the level of environmental destruction. I could talk about that all day but you cannot—the only way you can protect the environment is through a true, locally based democracy.”
---Robert F. Kennedy, Jr
The inheritor of the Teflon President’s Robe stood in a blatantly Disneyfied screen shot to catapult the latest load of lies to the “reality based community” aka The People.
“A corporation does not want democracy. It does not want free markets, it wants profits and the best way for them to get profits is to use our campaign finance system which is just a system of legalized bribery to get their stakes, their hooks into a public official and then use that public official to dismantle the market place to give them a competitive advantage and then to privatize the common, to steal the commonwealth, to liquidate public assets for cash, to plunder, to steal from the rest of us. This is why throughout our history our most visionary political leaders republican and democrat have been warning the American public against the domination by corporate power.

Essentially he said that – he complained that Fascism should not be called Fascism. It should be called corporatism because it was the merger of state of corporate power.
"And we what we have to understand as Americans is that the domination of business by government is called Communism.
"The domination of government by business is called Fascism."
