A business-government partnership, as has somewhat been created by TARP, and the government running of some banks is far more like theoretical fascism (which very much was for a corporatist state) than theoretical socialism.

Is it really either though? Do people really believe it is Obama's goal to take over every company in this country? Or is he just entering into partnerships with insolvent banks/companies to try and avoid what would be an economic apocalypse? What a lot of these protesters don't understand is that without these bailouts to AIG and Citi, our economy would have completely collapsed.

My issue is with how easily these words get thrown around. All it takes is wanting to add a health care program and you're now Joseph Stalin.
