Is America closer to Facism than communism

When Fascism DOES come to the US it will come wrapped in a flag carrying a cross:


Okay, that is more funny than anything else.

Actually the Bush and Ford families both lean Fascist and were Nazi sympathizers.
Read about Preston Bush a WW2 profiteer.
However even as Fascist as GW Bush is he is not able to assume dictatorship.
The same would apply to the most Socialist of the Democrats.
The US has checks and balances that prevent control as long as the American people do not vote a single party into office.
But if those two parties ever started working together?
We could be in some deep problems.

Looking at Fascists and Socialists, they both have some good and some bad ideas.

Socialism is purely leftist meaning pro-labor. Great for working labor but not so good for profit or the upper class.
Socialism fixes infrastructure and creates efficient models for getting things done.
However Socialism can be militarized pushing closer to Communism by taking control from the people. Oh, and the loss of profit thing is a big problem.

Fascism balances left and right to create a wonderful balance of labor and profit. However Fascism is a militaristic approach. We are not so far from this as one might think. The US spends ONE QUARTER of the ENTIRE WORLD's defense budget on US defense ALONE. This is a scary big percentage. We are a military society. We also have the worlds largest percentage of incarcerated people. These two factors are much of what is bankrupting the US. Anyone who cannot afford retirement can go commit a crime and live for free in prison. STUPID SYSTEM.

Notice that neither of our parties are shrinking the prisons or military?
Makes me go hmmmmmmmmm
Maybe we are more Fascist than we like to admit. (On both sides of the aisle)
