Obama and Fascism

Those that understand the background and education of our current President, Barack Obama, know that he is indeed a social democratic politician looking to "fundamentally change the American system" with a more federally controlled form of government very akin to the Social Democrats of the 1930's and 40's in Germany and Italy. We know these governments as fascists.
 
Please understand that a democratic republic CAN NOT become socialist, but it can and often does become a fascist-based form of government. To know why you had to study the differences between a socialistic form of government and fascist form of government. Why do monarchies become socialistic while democracies and republics become fascists?
 
The fine line of reasoning comes from the control of "means of production" as Karl Marx put it in his "Das Capital." Socialism is the most prevalent form of "populist" control of the means of production in a country that was controlled by a monarchy since the means of production was centrally managed in both forms of organization. In a fascist form of government, the government simply replaces "big business" or uses big business to rest control of the means of production with the end results being fairly similar: centrally managed economies.
 
The Obama White House is moving the US towards form of fascism not socialism; however, the result will be the same: the state becomes the central control point for everything American.
