    Hi Mark M,

    Although you don't seem like someone who is easily discouraged, I
    hope you will not be deterred in your studies by Platt's response to
    your last message.

    The main thrust of your post is right on, and all the points you made
    can be substantiated. The facts are that American business leaders
    and policy makers were VERY cozy with the Fascists, right up to the
    point at which Hitler and Mussolini started attacking American
    business interests. Then the tide turned, with a vengeance.

    And it makes sense, from a business standpoint. Fascism and big
    business go hand in hand, from the totalitarian structure of
    corporations, to state supported business subsidy, state adventurism
    and market/resource expansion, state intervention in crushing labor
    movements. It's a match made in heaven.

    Anyway, keep reading and thinking, and just remember you will
    encounter people who are ideologically and psychologically incapable
    of understanding what you are saying, who will tell you you are
    simply wrong or crazy or worse (with no argument or evidence, of
    course). No amount of argument or evidence on your part will change
    such people. You will, however, find plenty of folks who are
    receptive to new ideas, even ideas critical of their dearly held
    beliefs, because such people, like you, are truth seekers.

    Thanks again for the post.

    Best wishes,
    Mark Steven Heyman
