old definition of Fascism in the American Heritage Dictionary:
"A philosophy or system of government that advocates a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of the state and business leadership, together with an ideology of belligerent nationalism."

Altered 'new' version of the definition: "A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism."

Gone are the references to "the extreme right" and "the merging of state and business leadership." Maybe the new definition at the American Heritage Dictionary had something to do with William F. Buckley on the editorial board at the time, but it certainly helps GW stay away from being defined as a fascist.

this is a repost from the old imock board last year sometime..
