In another thread, Bob26003 has accused me of being a fascist. I proposed we hold a forum trial, he presents the evidence, I answer the accusations, and you, dear forum readers, act as the jury. The other thread was inappropriate for such a trial, so I'm moving it here.

The accusations are as follows...

I would say at the least Bruce your political views allign perfectly with at least 11 of these characteristics of fascism.

1.) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism:

2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights:

3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause:

4.) Supremacy of the Military:

5.) Rampant Sexism:

6) Controlled Mass Media:

7.) Obsession with National Security:


8.) Religion and Government are Intertwined:

9.) Corporate Power is Protected:

10.) Labor Power is Suppressed:

11.) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts

12.) Obsession with Crime and Punishment

13.) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption:

14.) Fraudulent Elections:


We are waiting for Bob to present the evidence...

I don't think it is appropriate to hold a trial over a matter that stems from name calling that is against forum rules to begin with; Saruman and the moderating staff are the only ones here that are able to pass any kind of judgement on the matter anyway.

I would ask that we please stick to discussing the matter at hand and avoid calling each other names like nazi, or fascist; any effective dialogue ends at that point, derails topics and is against forum rules. Too many people have already been warned over such namecalling and I am not going to allow a mock trial for something that I have already made clear i do not want to see.
