I always find Mr. Green's view interesting, and I am listening to the interview right now.

There is one thing though which strikes me.

And it is the redundant statement of fear the system will become a socialist system.

This I find funny a bit. Shaking the 'socialist' scarecrow as a sort of mantra down the throat of people.

It is not a socialist state that you must fear at this point but a fascist state.

What rules the government in its decision? This is the real question.
Who controls the currency, who controls dynamics and through what, what are the lobbies and who seats on the panels that present solutions and to whose interests?

Follow those leads and you wont find socialism but fascism.

I don't believe this to be just a question of semantics. When people think socialism, if they are Republicans, they think Democrats. If they are Democrats, it is a fuzzy concept most of the time. And I do not even believe that people in general know what fascism is. But they have an historically trained mind to resonate negatively to the word. They associate fascism with oversea egomaniacs of the past, with Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. But they don't know what fascism really is so they can't recognize it where it hides. And it hides behind words and threats of socialism. Socialism, the scarecrow.
