How Privatization is Fascism
When officials start talking about privatizing programs that were invented by the government they are making a fascist move. This isn’t like the movies where the world is run by a single company with one logo and one face telling you strychnine is food. Whatever investment company they try to sell Social Security to, whether it is one or a group, that will be the fascist dictator of your retirement. Whatever national healthcare we end up with, whatever major owner and administer of hospitals (Columbia, Seton, etc) that gets the contract, that will be the fascist dictator of your healthcare.
If they turned everything over in one package we’d notice. Instead of that it’s done piecemeal. One dysfunctional-by-design entity gets taken over by a corporation at a time and along the way there will be talk about stock markets and investments being helped by privatization. They get our buy-in, one sell-out at a time until the whole thing is gone.
