Link to the article:

Bush and the Fascist Menace

..it's an excellent article! Marxist analysis is always so cogent... very convincing. He does allow for the conditions to develop to push it over the edge. I think the most effective piece of his argument is the absence of a real threat to the capitalist system - the absence of a powerful labor or other socialist alternative, in other words - means they will be able to maintain the illusion of democracy and still give virtually free reign to corporate capitalism. Which may be worse than outright, clean fascism.

So maybe he's right, we're wasting our energy worrying about what it will become when we should just really try to make it clear what it actually already is...

Again, thanks for the post - very good stuff.
