9. Do not believe that Justice Thomas has picked a fight with two or three corporations that we call Big Tech alone!!
No, his fight is for Americanism, and against the Fascism that Franklin Roosevelt brought whole from Mussolini’s Italy, and imposed it on America as the New Deal.
Fascism, corporatism, crony capitalism, is the alliance of government and business aimed at enriching individuals in both, to the detriment of Americans.
The propaganda of the New Deal (“malefactors of great wealth”) to the contrary, FDR simply endeavored to re-create the corporatism of the last war. The New Dealers invited one industry after another to write the codes under which they would be regulated. Even more aggressive, the National Recovery Administration forced industries to fix prices and in other ways to collude with one another: the NRA approved 557 basic and 189 supplementary codes, covering almost 95% of all industrial workers. (Goldberg)
The intention was for big business to get bigger, and the little guy to be squeezed out: for example, the owners of the big chain movie houses wrote the codes that almost ran the independents out of business (even though 13,571 of the 18,321 movie theatres were independently owned). This in the name of ‘efficiency’ and ‘progress.’
New Deal bureaucrats studied Mussolini’s corporatism closely.
From “Fortune” magazine: ‘The Corporate state is to Mussolini what the New Deal is to Roosevelt.’(July 1934)
Big Tech hid the Biden sell-out to Communist China, and got him elected.
No greater service could have been performed.
One wonders if getting Biden elected can be deducted on their taxes as a contribution in kind.
Clarence Thomas is a fool. His fight is for socialism. The right to take corporations because you don't like what they are doing. The New Deal was not fascism. It was a reponse to a major depression caused by Herbert Hoover and Republicans.
It was Trump who favored big business over other businesses. It was the Trump DOJ that provided the inpetus in ending the consent decree in the Paramount case. I didn't see you complaining about it.
"The New Deal was not fascism."
I love when you post, as I get to destroy the Left's lies.
1. Rex Tugwell was opposed to any private business not controlled by the government. General Hugh Johnson was working with Tugwell on a bill to create the NRA, and gave Francis Perkins the book by Rafaello Viglione, "The Corporate State," in which the neat Italian system of dictatorship for the benefit of the people was glowingly described."
Francis Perkins, "The Roosevelt I Knew." The NRA was copied from Mussolini's corporative system. p.47
a. Perkins questioned whether Johnson 'really understood the democratic process..." New Dealers had no problem with the fascist nature of their plans.

2. " As an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer. ... In its day (the 1920s and 1930s), fascism was seen as the happy medium between boom-and-bust-prone liberal capitalism, with its alleged class conflict, wasteful competition, and profit-oriented egoism, and revolutionary Marxism, with its violent and socially divisive persecution of the bourgeoisie. Fascism substituted the particularity of nationalism and racialism—“blood and soil”—for the internationalism of both classical liberalism and Marxism.....
.... Mussolini praised the New Deal as “boldly . . . interventionist in the field of economics,” and Roosevelt complimented Mussolini for his “honest purpose of restoring Italy” and acknowledged that he kept “in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman.” Also, Hugh Johnson, head of the National Recovery Administration, was known to carry a copy of Raffaello Viglione’s pro-Mussolini book, The Corporate State, with him, presented a copy to Labor Secretary Frances Perkins, and, on retirement, paid tribute to the Italian dictator."

I really should point out that today is Frances Perkin's birthday
Frances Perkins, original name Fannie Coralie Perkins, (born April 10, 1882, Boston, Mass., U.S.—died May 14, 1965, New York, N.Y.), U.S. secretary of labor during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Besides being the first woman to be appointed to a cabinet post, she also served one of the longest terms of any Roosevelt appointee (1933–45).

She complained about the Fascist nature of the New Deal, Mussolini being its source.

Fascism - Econlib
As an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer. The word derives from fasces, the Roman symbol of collectivism and power: a tied bundle of rods with a protruding ax. In its day (the 1920s and 1930s), fascism was seen as the happy medium between boom-and-bust-prone liberal...
