Neo-Fascism Revisited

Let us recall what Fascism is: the control of government by big business. Communism, on the other end of the political spectrum, is the control of business by the government.

The newly popular phrase "Islamo-Fascism" has no meaning today; which is to say, it points to nothing in the world--or at least nothing in the world that those who presently use this phrase intend by it. The last Islamo-Fascist that I can think of was the Shah of Iran, supported by the United States (indeed, installed by the CIA), now deposed and dead.

"Christo-Fascism," on the other hand, does have meaning today insofar as it points to the Christian right of Ralph Reed and George W. Bush and their ilk--those who seem to believe that big business running the government furthers the "cause" of Christ.
