Quote:D. Corroboration. McGowan pointed towards lots of it. McGowan can’t force you to consider it thoughtfully or discuss the history or more current reports or analyses presented there, especially in the video documentaries.
In other words LaRouche corroborates LaRouche.
Hmmm.
Since there is very considerable doubt about the veracity of the somewhat outlandish statements made by LaRouche in regard to the British NHS, when asking for substantiation (the word I used above) of his claims one would have expected to have been presented with exactly that. Not more LaRouche statements.
There is another fine point too concerning your definition of fascist. Sorry to pernickety, but the British National Health System is not a "Corporation" in the sense you mean (usually charaterized by limited liability, the issuance of shares and operating for profit). On the contrary, the NHS is taxpayer funded, is not for profit and a very great majority of Brits cherich it and despise the thought the business elites are trying to privatize it.
Ergo your argument that the word fascist means "Bullying by the corporate elite" does not fit pretty close at all.
Definition of substantiation by the Free Online Dictionary:
Quote:sub·stan·ti·ate (sb-stnsh-t)tr.v. sub·stan·ti·at·ed, sub·stan·ti·at·ing, sub·stan·ti·ates
1. To support with proof or evidence; verify: substantiate an accusation.
But I see this discussion is going to go exactly nowhere -- except in ever decreasing LaRouchian circles.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
