The buggers have realised that they can't pass laws to censor the internet in the full light of day so they are now about to do it in secret, behind closed doors. Very democratic of them. We need to hold them accountable and stop them ruining the best communication system the world has seen.

What I can't figure out is, what is so damn attractive about fascism anyway. Have they got such limited memories that they don't know what happened under Mussolini? Or do they think that maybe fascism will be alright this time because they can do it right?

Incidentally, has anybody else noticed that all the online definitions of fascism have been altered to be something like: "an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization" when for the preceding decades it was always
A philosophy or system of government that advocates or exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with an ideology of belligerent nationalism.
Does anybody else think it is creepy that the aspect of fascism that have been deleted from the definition -- the collusion of government and big business -- defines current USA government, and in Australia, Tony Abbott's scary new government?
