3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause

The most significant common thread among these regimes was the use of scapegoating as a means to divert the people’s attention from other problems, to shift blame for failures, and to channel frustration in controlled directions. The methods of choice—relentless propaganda and disinformation—were usually effective. Often the regimes would incite “spontaneous” acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditional national enemies, members of other religions, secularists, homosexuals, and “terrorists.” Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled as terrorists and dealt with accordingly.

9. Power of corporations protected

Although the personal life of ordinary citizens was under strict control, the ability of large corporations to operate in relative freedom was not compromised. The ruling elite saw the corporate structure as a way to not only ensure military production (in developed states), but also as an additional means of social control. Members of the economic elite were often pampered by the political elite to ensure a continued mutuality of interests, especially in the repression of “have-not” citizens.





10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated

Since organized labor was seen as the one power center that could challenge the political hegemony of the ruling elite and its corporate allies, it was inevitably crushed or made powerless. The poor formed an underclass, viewed with suspicion or outright contempt. Under some regimes, being poor was considered akin to a vice.""""""





Sure sounds like the repugs in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here ya go.......

So, the guy is stupid for liking Sarah Palin? Hehehehehehe! LOL!


Looks like the guy is pissed, not stupid and being as civil as he humanly can, to combat a very provoking act to cause disturbance.

Two, not a single real Republican from Massachusetts bothered to show up. Not even downtown Scotty Brown, who I guess was "busy" doing my work down in Washington. Not even one of the three Reps. running for Governor. Not even effing Mitt Romney.

I wonder if Sarah bothered to walk to the other side of the Common (over to Park Street) to view the graves of Paul Revere or Sam Adams. I doubt it.

Oh the Tea Party Express is a farce, btw. Hate to burst all your bubbles, yeah its a GOP Politcal Action Committee. Who has egg on their face now?
Great points. The bloom definitely seems to be off the rose

Wow the guy in blue really loves Sarah.

"Thugs?" That's a stretch, it looks like the thuggery was on the other side.
