Tim, I don't know where you get your info specifically but it runs counter to most of what I learned going to school. What specific info? The meaning of "government control of the economy? The idea that both fascists and socialists want to control the economy and are similar in other ways? the right is trying to redefine what is socialism and fascism in an effort to indict the current president. That's a rather silly statement. Extensive control of the economy with high taxes and government dictates isn't a recent redefinition of socialism, but a meaning that has been used for some time. In any case if you prefer the older more limited definition I'm fine with that as well. Socialism would be only government ownership of the means of production, while fascist economics would be government control without ownership. But I doubt you'd be happy about people reporting that Obama is moving us towards fascist economics, despite the fact that he is. Also he's still moving us towards socialism, even by the more stringent definition, since he is increasing government ownership of the means of production of goods and services.
