On October 25, ABC News published the results of a survey of 2,392 registered voters where 44 percent of the respondents said that Donald Trump is a fascist, while 23 percent said that Kamala Harris is a fascist. There was even a 5 percent overlap between the two groups—respondents who characterized both Trump and Harris as fascists. Only 32 percent of the respondents thought that neither candidate is a fascist. Is America really in danger of turning fascist?The survey defined “fascist” rather broadly as “a political extremist who seeks to act as a dictator, disregards individual rights and threatens or uses force against their opponents.” This definition is misleading (perhaps intentionally so), since most Americans view communism as being an alternative form of

Dr. Robert Malone’s recent Mises University talk, PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order, raises important and timely questions about advanced mass psychological manipulation capabilities being weaponized by globalized corporatists through what he calls the “surveillance capitalism,” practiced by firms like Amazon, Google and Facebook. These firms sell highly-detailed personal data that facilitates things like targeted advertising, advocacy journalism, online trolling, censorship, and deplatforming for large-scale manipulation of individual beliefs, values, and feelings, and for waging “fifth generation warfare” against domestic and foreign adversaries of the NATO states.Does this new, personal, data-driven authoritarianism extract value from individuals against

However, Harris

The 2024 Republican National Convention will be remembered for the raw emotions evoked by an attempted assassination the preceding weekend of its presidential nominee Donald Trump and for the now mostly Trumpified Republicans posing as the populist champions of American workers against the elitist Democrats.This convention, however, should be remembered for another reason too. It marks the entrenchment of an organized “national conservative” movement within the party that espouses an anti-free-market ideology, overtly scorning individual liberty in favor of a powerful nation-state.
