"What I am calling American Fascism is the specific conjunction of three phenomena: (1) an intensely passionate, angry, and sometimes brutal form of Southern Christianity traumatized by the Civil War and civil rights; (2) a nationalism that increasingly resorts to military means to defend its economic security and financial interests; and (3) a virulent and unrestrained corporate fascism that has decimated labor, unions, and many forms of worker's rights, largely by downsizing and relocating jobs overseas."
From "Jeb Stuart's Revenge," in The Sleeping Giant Has Awoken (New York: Continuum Books, 2008), p. 90.

How does one undermine corporate fascism if one is without capital? It takes a lot of money to effectively oppose capitalism.
