Everyone knows what a fascist is, right?
For those of you that don’t, the fine folks at Sadly No! have found a perfect definition from the ridiculous Jonah Goldberg:
“the quintessential liberal fascist isn’t an SS storm trooper; it is a female grade-school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore,”
Just what does this word Fascist mean, Henry?
“It comes from Fasces, a bundle of rods and an ax that you see on this dime. Our New Merriam-Webster gives this interesting story about Fasces:”
“IN ANCIENT ROME this bundle of rods surrounding an ax was carried before a magistrate as his badge of authority. It symbolized his power to enforce the law through flogging or beheading. In Fascist Italy, the Fasces now stands for the unification of all the nation’s forces into a single powerful authority.”

BUSINESS AUTOMATION and MILITARY ELECTRONICS
The problem confronting many company managements today in deciding what course to follow in applying the new techniques of automation and data processing is similar to the problem faced in recent years by the leaders of our military organizations in arranging for efficient application of the same powerful tools of electronics to the art of war.
