14 Points of fascism 12 warning signs of fascism Wake up and smell the fascism The American Heritage Dictionary defines fascism as "the domination of a government by corporations of the political right, combined with bellicose nationalism."   "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power." President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the American Flag" - Huey Long "The less a statesman amounts to, the more he loves the flag" - Kin Hubbard When Fascism Comes to America
