This is like me saying Obama is a collectivist - which is a hallmark of communism.

It makes me ignorant, so let's not be ignorant.

Well there was the collusion between the government, police, and courts during the miners strike and also the use of blacklisting.

Then there's the homophobia (another common strand with the kind of control freaks who are attracted to fascism) - guess who said: "children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay".

Then there was the support of war-criminal, torturer, and undisputed actual-Fascist Pinochet, whom she protected from trial and described as "bringing democracy to Chile". There's a reason they say you can tell a lot about a man from his friends.

A telling detail on the corporatocracy was when her economic advisor, Alan Walters, admitted in an interview that they had deliberately kept unemployment high to drive down wages.

I don't consider her explicitly a Fascist, (my own contrary view is that she was more a massive opportunist and somewhat a political fraud, which might even be amusing at some level if it hadn't involved so many deaths) - but some have sincere reasons to see her as having conducted a kind of fascism-lite. If it walks like a duck...

On reflection for measure and balance, I guess I should also have mentioned her support of apartheid (describing Nelson Mandela as "a terrorist"), and her support of the Khmer Rouge :/

Where would you place Blair? I'm unsure what to think of his hidden religious side, but have strong views on his Murdoch ties, Bush pandering and subsequent obfuscating of his role in the Iraq debacle.

In retrospect he looks something like a remixed but straight swap-out for John Major. (Gore Vidal had interesting views on Major.)

Thats surprisingly accurate. Blair seems (to me) a more manipulative person, but nice summary.
