Paul Of Alexandria:

Actually, if there’s a relevant historical parallel it might be to Nixon’s wage and price controls or to Harry Truman’s nationalization of the steel industry.

If you or your idiot buddy Bill actually read any history you might have seized on one of those examples. But of course they wouldn’t validate your paranoid wingnuttery so you went to Peron and Mussolini and Hitler. Why? Because the only history any of you know is what’s spoon-fed to you by talk radio and wingnut blogs.

Obama had the perfect opportunity to nationalize the banks. There were Nobel laureates begging him to do just that. He declined. Which blows a rather gigantic hole in your theory. ( In economic terms the banks are SUV’s and the auto industry is a scooter.)

Nor is engineering a merger of Chrysler with Fiat nationalization. Unless you hold that the earlier merger with Daimler was nationalization.

In other words: 1) You know zip about history. 2) You regurgitate the usual wingnut crapola and pretend it is original to. 3) The facts bear out no part of your paranoid vision. 4) You will have no interest in changing your opinion to conform with the facts. In fact you will be, like all of your ilk, utterly indifferent to facts.

Which is why the country is not just walking but running away from you and people like you and your staggering wreck of a party.
