Whether or not usage of the F word is appropriate -

[IDemo]

While there certainly may be arguments to be made on both sides, choosing to call our present predicament "fascism" or not should by now be a secondary issue. Regardless of the label you use, it can no longer be argued seriously that the best interests of the common citizen are the primary (or secondary) concern of government, business or the media. The country we once knew, or thought we did, has spiraled downward into a concerted effort by the PTB to control the people through economic havoc, removal of the rule of law and rapidly diminishing civil rights. All accomplished with a large part of the population either completely on board with the program or ignorant of its existence.

1. Our nation has been fascist, but some of the people on our side is in denial.

The first step to fixing the problem is to admit the problem.

2. Rule by corporations -- looks like fascism to me.

What could possibly make use of the word inappropriate -- other than worry that it wouldn't be seen as PC?

3. If the F word bothers you, call it Phalangism

Then its the Ph-word.
