Even celebrity American comedian Rob Schneider, in a recent interview with Chris Stigall, recognizes how freedom is fast being eroded and transformed into fascism in America. Fascism, according to Wikipedia, is a “form of radical authoritarian nationalism”. Known Fascist regimes include Italy’s Benito Mussolini and Germany’s Adolf Hitler

Chris Stigall spoke with comedian Rob Schneider on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT about the struggle comedians face in today’s current political environment.
Schneider struck on ominous tone when discussing the path he sees the country on.
“Democracies don’t end well. We are sliding very fast towards fascism. It’s an ugly kind of thing. There’s this kind of mob mentality that we have to be careful of,” he said.
He believes comedians are pressured toward one side of the political spectrum.
“There’s a polarization that’s happening…I do think you look can look at government and go, ‘Wow, it is out of control now,’ and if you do criticize or tend to be not directly along a liberal stand, you can get murdered,” Schneider commented.
Schneider was very critical of the President’s handling of the economy and he feels certain policies are impacting businesses.
“There’s not one segment of business under the Obama administration that hasn’t been hurt…he attacks for-profit schools, which is totally an elitist thing from a guy that went to Harvard. I think for free, by the way,” Schneider said.
He was also critical of the media for being overly influenced by the government and not standing up for the American people.
This looks intriguing (but praiseworthy) because Mr. Schneider seems to be playing a role of an industry iconoclast, particularly when he censures media for being influenced by politics and the mob mentality (where political media plays a big role in shaping opinions).
Fascism is not just a political aspect, it covers economic dimensions via massive interventionism which compromises private property but gives marginal leeway to entrepreneurs. Crony capitalism is a common feature of such state determined political economic arrangement.
Finally, if the political trend in the US has been in transition to fascism, what would characterize her foreign policies? Would her allies be transformed into fascist satellite states too?
