If laughing so hard that I fall of my chair counts as thought
provoking, OK.

The rise of Fascism relies on people having the notion that their own
prosperity, power and security derive from being a member of some
collective. Individualism, as expressed by capitalism, is the absolute
antidote to fascism.

So, if you want to avoid a fascist state, then adopt the Gates, and
the Jobs, and the CEO's who pull in mega salaries as your heroes. So
long as the individual is free excel, and admired rather than envied
when he gets rich, we will not have fascism here.

It is when equality becomes more our goal than excellence that the
jackboots draw near.
