The similarities between the Obama administration and Italian fascism have been pointed out many times. Over a dozen articles about this are on this site alone (1, 2, 3, 4). It is usually said that fascism is a strain of socialism in which the means of production are beneficially owned by private persons but controlled by the government.
Both the Obama administration and Mussolini used a financial crisis to take over banks and industry. Mussolini openly assumed complete control of them, even though partial private ownership was allowed to remain. The U.S. government bailed out banks and the auto industry in 2008, before Obama was inaugurated. It did not own the banks, but the bailout created public sentiment in favor of government control of the banks and more regulation of all businesses. Obama used this sentiment to its full extent. Elizabeth Warren led the creation of the partisan Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which wielded unprecedented powers and was unaccountable to Congress. By 2016, the corporate world was already subverted and controlled by the Democrat administration. For example, all banks refused to deal with Donald Trump in 2016. The democrat-controlled media misrepresented the cause of this discrimination. Warren’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau effectively allowed the ruling administration to strangle its opposition financially.
Citizens United v. FEC, decided by the Supreme Court in January 2010, very likely radicalized Democrats even further into total fascism. The Supreme Court confirmed that private corporations have the First Amendment right to use their money to support political candidates; Democrats concluded that they would have to control corporations to win elections.
Starting in 2010, the Obama administration viciously targeted any effective opposition, including the Tea Party movement, which was obliterated. The IRS was most notorious for targeting Tea Party organizations, but the DOJ (Eric Holder) and

And ANTIFA actually supports fascism, though they pretend to be communists (which is worse?).

It just kills me that Jonah Goldberg wrote the book “Liberal Fascism” which is a good book. Traces progressivism back to Wilson and on to FDR and shows that it is nothing but Fascism in the style of Mussolini. Lays it all out. The book came out just a little too late to really explore full fruition of this under Obama.
And under Obama and Biden it has all gotten so much worse. And Goldberg has been relentless in criticizing Trump and other non-progressive Republicans. And he has defended Obama.
Some Liberals can recognize the fact that they are Fascists. And they seem unapologetic.

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama
even struck a Benito Mussolini pose / sneer.
“Creeping” facism?
Seriously. Charging full speed ahead.
Create divisions between groups and then pit one group against the other(s). When you control the conflicts then you’re in control.
Where are he good old days when you could execute those responsible for treason. The Rosenberg’s are flipping like flap jacks on a barn fire
Seriously. Charging full speed ahead.
I agree. I don’t think it’s creeping at all. It’s going at 8 miles per second.
Creeping?
Why, they’re pretty much sprinting!
Letting millions of collectivists from South America into the country helps keep the country divided too. Last thing they want is for all of us to agree on something.
I wouldn’t call it ‘creeping’, I’d call it RAMPAGING!...............
If anyone deserved the same fate as Mussolini and his mistress it would be Barry Soetoro and Hillary Clinton. /spit
And with Potato Joe Biden in the White House, it is now “Creepy Fascism”.
Obama-Biden Administration Was [and is, and will continue to be] Creeping Fascism. The Occupy 'movement' was fascist and racist. Antifa is fascist and racist. BLM is fascist and racist. Hamas is fascist and racist. La Raza is fascist and racist.
