6. What To Call It

The Obama regime has been called by many names. Any of the following might be appropriate:

Socialism
National socialism
Fascism
Corporatism
Communism
Stalinism
Marxism
Leninism
Tyranny
Statism
Liberalism
Collectivism
Good of society
Communitarianism
Community service
Social gospel
Liberation theology

All are applicable to the Obama regime in some respects. While they vary in the details of their programs, all of these isms have one thing in common: their fundamental philosophy.

All of the above isms are based on the philosophy of altruism. They are all death cults.

>> "The basic principle of altruism is that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the only justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, virtue, and value.... which means the self as a standard of evil, and the selfless as a standard of the good."
-- Ayn Rand "Philosophy, Who Needs It", page 74 (hc), 61 (pb).

Obama's philosophy is thoroughly altruistic. His actions in taking over control of business fit the fascist pattern. And he is doing it all by stealth, not revealing his true motivation or goals, concealed behind meaningless propaganda slogans such as "Hope" and "Change".

Therefore, I will continue to use the term "crypto-fascist" to refer to Obama and his regime.
