REF:
Here's a NY Times article from the days of FDR. Does it sound like today?
"
[Washington, DC is] strangely reminiscent of Rome in the first weeks after the march of the [Mousolini's] Blackshirts, of Moscow at the beginning of the [Communist] Five-Year Plan... America today literally asks for orders... [FDR] envisages a federation of industry, labor and government after the fashion of the corporative State as it exists in Italy.
"
-- New York Times, May 7, 1933, Anne OHare McCormick
