Fabulous guest. But your thumbnail includes "Capitalism" among your list of -isms of which you say: "Just another name for another version of humanist ideologies elevated and disseminated by power players to mask totalitarianism, which seeks to subdue and commoditize the human body & spirit for money and power." That's true of the rest of your list (i.e. communism, socialism, fascism, etc.). But Capitalism was a term invented by Karl Marx and meant to be a derogatory label flung against Free Market economies, participants and policies. It would have been correct to speak of rapacious Corporatism (i.e. pursuit of the concentration of power -- especially government-enhanced monopoly Corporate power -- for self-interested Corporations) as belonging on the list of -isms masking totalitarianism. This is the YUGE flaw in Libertarian theory which ignores the fact that raw, entirely unregulated competition leads to concentration of monopoly Corporate power. Judicious Anti-Trust Law is meant to DEFEND & PROTECT the freedom of Free Markets (aka Capitalism). Corporations in bed with Big Government is the definition of Fascism (NOT Capitalism) and is the antithesis of Free Market economics (Capitalism).
