Pleas read the full article. It is hard to do synopses when so much of it is worth mentioning and there is a back story needing to be posted to understand which in this case is Whole Food CEO John Mackey trying to describe what Obamacare really is, Is it socialist, fascist or some anti-free market government run take over of the health care system.

One of my Christmas Gifts was a Gift card for Whole Foods.

Thinking the place would be a hotbed of looney left wing envrirowacky liberalism, I dreaded going there to use my gift card.

I feel a lot better about it now.

“Is Obamacare Socialism or Fascism?”

Or the banana peel one steps on. When the socialists run out of other people’s money, it will become fascism!

Exactly! +1

Splitting hairs between definitions of the two is useless.

They both devolve into tyranny in the end.

Kind of like choosing which road to hell has the better scenery.

It IS a “hotbed of looney left wing envrirowacky liberalism”. We have one that my wife and I go to once a week or so. It’s a great store! Awesome beef! But if you ever wondered where a guy with purple hair, neck tattoos and multiple piercings gets a job, look no more.

How about anarchist or maybe utopianist?

This is a whole new thing.

It is all the worst of Crony Capitalism, combined with all the worst of Socialism.

Obammunism: Crony Socialism.

He answered as follows: “Technically speaking, it’s more like fascism.

Ah. Whole Foods. Where the guy with purple hair, neck tattoos, multiple piercings, and not enough qualifications to work at Starbucks winds up. Would you like an STD with that bean curd?

I refuse to step foot in Whole Foods... I don’t need free range, fair trade, PBA-free, organic starfruit for nothin’. I’ll stick to the staple items available from my local farmer and my own garden.

Very often, if the topic of soybeans comes up, I let people know I refuse to eat soybeans... and rarely do I point out that soy, especially for males, is TOXIC (please do your own research).

What I do say when in mixed company, however, is that I don’t eat soy or processed foods (that all contain soy) because it “Makes people vote for Democrats”.

Shopping at Whole Foods... same deal.

The difference between socialism/communism/fascism is much like the difference between Coke and Pepsi. They are slightly different flavors of the same thing.

It is fascism designed to fail and give rise to a socialist system, single payer.

Liberals try to deny that 0bama is a socialist,
and more to the point, that THEY, as his supporters, aren’t socialists by association,

by pointing at the definition of socialism (gov’t owning the means of production and distribution).

To which I reply, yeah, you’re right, he’s more of a fascist by definition, but the result is the same - no freedom for you and I, total power for him and his chosen few.
