		<description><![CDATA[&quot;What we most have to fear—as was true of Brexit—is not therefore Armageddon, but something more prosaic: an attempt to reverse certain aspects of globalization, followed by disappointment when the snake oil does not really cure the patient’s ills...&quot; 

Populism does not work?

By Ferguson&#039;s own admission, the foreign-born American population dropped from 14.7% in 1890 to 5% in the 1910-1970 period, and is back up to 13% as of 2014. So populism did not work 1910-&#039;70?

The New Deal financial reforms fundamentally restructured banking and corporations, taming the extreme differentials seen in executive vs line worker compensation during the Robber Baron period until the Watergate Babies took office in &#039;75. It also suppressed perceived corruption in big business for the same period - Ferguson&#039;s ingredient #3. But populism did not work?

Ferguson outlines the case and then comes to a conclusion diametrically opposed to his evidence. Not surprising however, he is a drone well compensated by the current age of Robber Barons protected by the just recently departed President Goldman Sachs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A very poor text. What is the difference between being Social-Statist and being Populist?

Fascism came from Marxism. So Marxism-Fascism. Without Marxism in Fascism there is no attempt to &lt;a href=&quot;https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socializzazione_dell&#039;economia&quot;&gt;socialize the economy&lt;/a&gt;.

1943 is precisely when Monarchist-conservatism stopped influencing Fascism. Or the attempt by leaders of Italian Communist Party to join both movements in 1936.

It is common to say that Fascism is or is not Totalitarian. In my opinion it was not because of a couple motives: (1) It didn&#039;t topple the Monarchy.
(2) It didn&#039;t murder it own party members by the dozens, like the Nazis, Communists, Islamists etc. Political murders comparatively rare.

Now there are elements of Totalitarianism in Fascist ideology.

Bob Sykes, Marxism-Leninism was not driven by the&quot;internationalist working class&quot;; that is only the typical lie.]]></description>
