Bill, your old definition of Fascism predates what the world has come to expect from that word. Connotations are important when using any kind of words in today's environment. While calling an African American a "Negro" might be technically accurate, are you later going to explain to that person why your term was accurate, as they proceed to beat the crap out of you? Any way you look at it, fascism has all the negative connotations that Adolf Hitler has given it. You cannot explain to the masses that it shouldn't be taken in any other way but negatively. As usual, Jerry Sanders put his foot in his mouth with his Intel being fascist phrase, and no amount of backpeddling is going to get him out of it. wanna_bmw
