Marquette Center Mistakes Fascist Propaganda for Art






The City of Marquette Arts and Cultural Center is featuring an “art” exhibit, in which one of its pieces portray four republican governors under a Nazi eagle holding the GOP symbol, instead of a swastika.  It must take a special kind of yahoo to misinterpret propaganda for art.  And to top it off, the citizens of Marquette are financing this crap through the city’s general fund.

Of course the council must be packed with a bunch of liberal nut-jobs, because they don’t consider this offensive:

“Exhibitions are curated with consideration for quality of the exhibit, what will be of interest to the community locally, regionally or nationally and suitability of subject matter…. All displays that the art gallery exhibits are suitable for all ages and will not promote discrimination against any person or group.”

And how is this not discriminatory towards Republicans and conservatives?  According to the Center, the GOP and its members are non-entities, undeserving consideration.

Not only is the Center misguided in their policies, they don’t even know the meaning of fascism.  Here are the characteristics of fascism, as defined by Promethean Capitalism:

The state is more important than the individual. Forming his own definition of fascism, Mussolini stated, "The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone." Under fascism, individual freedom is considered dangerous and threatening to the power of the state, more often than it is considered desirable room for individual expression and achievement. Mussolini also said, "Fascism reasserts the rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual." In short, like socialism, fascism is collectivist rather than individualist.


2) Government-business 'partnerships' are formed to organize new initiatives designed to improve or expand existing major businesses and industries.


3) Major industries which are deemed essential are planned centrally, with the collusion of both politicians and prominent corporate executives. This central planning seeks market 'order,' disdaining the 'chaos' which is actually the complexity of independent action within a free market.


4) Mercantilism and protectionism are established to favor major domestic industries at the expense of foreign imports. In a fascist economy, the people who live outside of the borders of the state are considered means for the profit of industries within the state, rather than partners for mutual advantage
Hell that is the Democratic Party’s platform.  I believe that Nazi eagle should carry the DNC banner.
