Socialism perforce requires authoritarianism to tell people what to do. Because of this, Fascism, which also requires authoritarianism, is often compared to socialism, but there is a distinctive difference: socialism is public elites, the State, doing the telling; while Fascism is private elites, corporations, in charge, so private elites telling you what to do is the simplest definition of Fascism. An examination of the Republican party’s ideology of Capitalism, anti-taxes, especially inheritance taxes, and enforced morals dictated by church or business, points at their Fascist tendencies, however most Conservatives are live-and-let-live at heart, the liberty ideal, which opposes authoritarianism. Unfortunately, NeoCons, or new Conservatives, are definitely Fascists: crony-Capitalists with global ambitions and dreams of a reborn aristocracy. NeoCons are so steeped in elitism, they can’t even have a debate because they consider their opinions superior to everyone else’s. This is common among ideologues but NeoCons have the self-assuredness that comes from going to the right schools, belonging to the right clubs, and knowing the right people: they are the elite of the elites, the Fascyist of the Fascists.
