Draft Anyone

The national service idea is back in the media today, supported strongly by very old congressman and AARP of course. Wondering if any of them will be showing to be drafted? Glad to see that the fascist art style of the 1930s and 40s will work for fascist propaganda in every era. Along with the fact that this is a hidden draft, and state slavery, but no one seems to mention that this is also essentially the NEW new deal. It will involve a gigantic public works project that will dwarf the CCC and other new deal programs. No depression huh?

Vote by not voting

I have long been against voting, for many reasons.  Russ Longcore has an article over at lewrockwell.com that argues the same thing and isn't bad at it.  Check it out.  In addition to what he said, I've noticed that the candidates spend a great deal of money on advertising, mostly to hide what they actually believe or what they have done.  This has made me think of a couple different things.  The first is they must have to spend so much because there really is not very much different between them, so the smallest differences have to

Trading What?

Sorry about not getting those articles up as soon as I said I would, I've been a little busy this weekend (as if anyone is actually reading this).  Just on a side note I discovered today that the idiom "Tading Chips" is actually "Trading Chits" in reference to chits used as debt notes being traded.  Thanks to Max Kellerman for alerting the sports radio world to this.  I always enjoy finding out about the correct use of idioms, their is usually some nice historical knowledge to be gained.  Anyway, tonight I promise at least one new article.

The adventure begins

Hello, this is the monumental first post on the Adventures in Fascism blog, as you can see it's already monumental. This blog will primarily discuss issues of social philosophy and current events that I feel are important to talk about. I may also digress into other topics as well: news stories I find interesting, sports, history, or whatever I feel like. So stay tuned, I have some stuff that will appear later today or tomorrow morning about personal economics and messianism in the current presidential campaign.
