CWT633: Reply To: 'Obamacare is the closest thing...we have to fascism(?!)'
from Critical Wade Theory · host Wade Wainio
I largely debunk this right-wing argument: "History and economics teacher here. Economically speaking, Obamacare is the closest thing in this country we have to fascism. Let me explain. Communism is when the government takes over the means of production. Fascism is when there can be private ownership of business, but those businesses are told what to produce and what the product will be..."As I explain, it's not so easy to debunk claims of things being "communist" or "fascist" because those are loaded terms, and relative terms (something than be more "fascistic" or more more "communistic" than something else, without being overtly either, for example). Anyway, listen for more details.
