to step in and engage in some logical tap dancing. Fascism is an authoritarian system with emphasis on the importance of the state and unimportance of the individual and individual liberties. It is not however a classless system. Classlessness and common ownership belief would make it communism. Interesting how easy it is to go from one to another isn't it. Odd that they have historically opposed each other. I digress. With a class system in place, and the highest class, the authority, able to make any choices they want over the lower classes that have surrendered their individual rights, the majority of people in the state are susceptible to abuse from the higher class who have immunity from committing crimes on the lower class, and what's worse, the low class agreed to it. It is just plain peculiar and against animal nature to disregard our individual wellbeing and place our lives and the lives of our loved ones in the hands of people who we know think they are significantly suuperior to us. It is an indirect violation of survival instinct. It is a betrayal to our fellow human beings. That isn't better than what we have now because now at least we haven't had all of our guns taken away from us, our tax burdens feed social systems that provide for the underpriviledged the government creates, and higher classes can't get away with property theft or murder by simply doing to the lower class and saying that it was best for the state. We're better than that, and us "paranoid conspiracy theorists" would like to keep it from degrading worse than it is, because it can get a hell of a lot worse, but not if we get angry and fight.
