Good article. I'm not sure I agree with the term "socialist" being tied to neocons. I believe there is another term for a strong federal government that uses it's powers to benefit corporate interests, and utilizes powerful national police forces.

I concur. Substitute the term "socialist" with "fascist", and this piece is right on the money.

You mean fascism? Hmm. Interesting. I'll have to think about it, but you may be on to something there. The connecting thread between the two is that *neither Liberals nor Neo-cons believe that power should rest witht he individual*. They both seek to strip the individual of power and to give it to their own interests. Thus, insofar as stripping power from individuals is concerned, the Left and certain aspects of the Right act in concordance.
