The operant word is puppet. While big business might have supported Hitler, he wasn't controlled by them.
I agree that facism is the closer of the two to the neocon vision, but my bringing up Stalin was because of the OP's use of the word GULAG. If you've never read Gulag Archipelago, I highly recommend it.
When I bought used textbooks, I always went for the least marked up. More times than not, passages are highlighted at random; some students seem to follow the theory that if you've highlighted a passage, you've read it. Buying a pre-highlighted text is not a viable shortcut.
On the other hand, marginalia can be useful, not as a cheat, but to see what someone else might have been thinking while reading the text.
nope because stalin wasn't a puppet of big business.
and Hitler was?
Personally, if I was a power mad and corrupt president, I think I'd rather follow the Stalin model. The Hitler model doesn't end well (deep in a bunker, with one's country crumbling around them and the meth-amphetamine stash running low).
The only dupes here are the comments about this story being a dupe.
I'm going to go back to the first article, cut and paste the comments modded insightful, and whore up my karma, so we'll have a greater variety of dupes here for this article.
If you're serious, and not being sarcastic, then, for the good of the children, I place you under arrest, relieve you of all your constitutional rights, and forbid you from accessing the internet.
If you're innocent, you won't mind having your constitutional rights abridged.
If the GOP loses control of either chamber (or both chambers) of Congress, the administration is going to have a tough time of it. No more carte blanche for illegal domestic spying, for one thing.
Not only that, but it's an election year here in the U.S. (Congressional midterm elections this November), and Bush is so low in the polls that there are fears that he will drag down the rest of the GOP with him.
It's a shame about Rumsfeld screwing up in Iraq. That's been really hurting the President. Still, you don't always have the luxury of going to war with the Secretary of Defense that you want, sometimes you have to go to war with the Secretary of Defense that you have.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, this is the same old bullshit that has happened at election time from time immemorial. If you're the incumbent and you're facing trouble, bust some whorehouses and some drug users, make some headlines to remind people that you're "tough on crime".
This is a troll? It's a joke, you morons. The "Ken Burns Effect" became famous when Ken Burns directed The Civil War for PBS. To think that I used to come to slashdot for the intellectual stimulation. It's like most of the smart people have left. Yeah, the curve has moved so much that I'm one of the smart ones now. Freakin' idiots.
In other news, the Bush Administration can no longer deny that the insurgency in Iraq has grown into a full scale civil war, after it was reported that Ken Burns has shown up in Bagdad to film a documentary.
Also, why was there not a winner from the field of political robots? When is A.I. Gore going to get his due, and be inducted into the robot hall of fame? Is there some sort of prejudice against robots constructed of wood, or is A.I. destined to always be a loser?

Just as interesting are the lyrics that Jonathan Coulton considered, but ultimately rejected:
Code Monkey only pawn in game of life.
Code Monkey like Sheriff Bart.
Code Monkey like candy!

You mean the box cutters that the 9/11 hijackers used were military issue?

Are you Apple Computer? Are you going to sue me?
Yeah, I know, that was pretty shameless.

Does it run linux?
Still, thanks for the postcard.
You can write instructions on how to make a turkey sandwich without a design document as a starting point? Dude!
I constantly have to ask them to repeat, speak up, and/or move the mouthpiece closer.
And eventually you have to ask them to pull up to the window.
"I couldn't tell if you were asking for the apple pies, or the extra large fries."
No, when you are 40 and married, your need to look at porn will be infinitely greater than it is now.
You think that's sick? That's nothing!
Now, this is really perverted.

The current administration must have some sort of Nazi handbook....

You're smelling November, 2006. Midterm elections.

Why are you biting on an obvious copy and paste troll?
Not true. We sold Iraq bio weapon precursors in the 80s, when we were backing them against Iran.
The reason the Bush Administration was so sure we'd find WMDs is because they had the receipts to prove it.

Dear Bushido Hacks,
Brick sized form factors are so. . .
Uh, what year was it that huge frikkin' pockets were in vogue? Nineteen-oh-never?

I think you mean sales and support.
