Very true - isn't that the fascist/communist model? Party affiliation trumps independence & ability?
- sidlls 10y agoYes, which is one reason why I think of the system in the US as being very much closer to a fascist system than many or most are comfortable contemplating.
- likeclockwork 10y agoPretty sure it was the US' model first.
- ravenstine 10y agoIt's authoritarian, but I'm not sure that it's nationalist. So I'm not sure fascist is the right term, but you are otherwise correct.
