CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, CORPOCRACY, AND FASCISM
By Charles Derber
I’ve been reading Philip Roth’s novel, The Plot Against America. It’s a stunning account of how the US went fascist under President Charles Lindbergh. In Roth’s book, Lindbergh defeated President Franklin Roosevelt in 1940 by campaigning against war with the Nazis. If you think this is pure fiction, read the book!
We just recently learned that some major communication companies, including Sprint (recently merged with Nextel), MCI (formerly WorldCom) and AT&T (recently acquired by SBC Communications), have been covertly cooperating with the Administration for several years in spying on US citizens. The corporations have been facilitating eavesdropping on Americans without court warrants, opening up mainstream communication arteries in the nation for Big Brother surveillance.
