Not so. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? worked very well, because the directors made sure to include eye contact, etc.

Then you haven't been paying attention. Don't listen to what the "media" say. Just listen directly to HER.

So when Hitler called himself a Fascist, praised his fascist ideology, and allied himself with the founder of fascism, Mussolini, he was just... joking?

You have it backwards.

National Socialism is fascism. Fascism is corporatism, or the merge of corporate and governmental power. Note that "merge" is NOT the same as "takeover." It is open cooperation with corporate interests.

Perhaps you should read Mussolini's works.

You've effectively made the definition so broad as to render it meaningless.

Have you actually read Marx? Socialism is controlling the means of production. the NSDAP did NOT own the means of production. Krupp, banks, etc. were NOT nationalized under Hitler. Private property was not eliminated.

On the contrary, Hitler killed thousands of Socialists and Leftists. He was a big supporter of business and the military industrial complex. See The Arms of Krupp and the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

That's EXACTLY what Hitler did. William Shirer said it best in the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: Hitler used populist catchphrases to gain more members. However, Hitler and his ilk were openly opposed to Socialism. He worked directly with Krupp and other companies to give them slave labor and insure they had a complete free hand (See Arms of Krupp). A true fascist government. Stop watching Glenn Beck.

And blanketed statements never represent reality. Seriously? NEVER a net good? I like my roads, libraries, police departments, fire departments, and various environmental regulations, thank you. Libertarians need a firmer grasp on reality.

Could you provide a link? That's fascinating.
