For all his classic socialist rhetoric though, I think he's more for that "third way" between socialism and capitalism, ie. fascism. To him, private business exists to serve the needs of the state. But as I stated earlier, I don't give a damn. He's a collectivist who has contempt for the constitution and the model of individual liberty and limited government it espoused.

Duh, it's government intervention in trade markets. The only economists who believe in protectionism are declared Marxists.

So were Washington and Hamilton socialists?

Protectionism is government intervention in markets. Isn't that socialism? Are you a Muslim? Were Washington and Hamilton Muslims?

If the Mixed Economy was a spectrum with the right being Outright Capitalism with No government interference and the Left being Complete Socialism (Government owns and operates all the business). The US is farther to the right than Western Europe. My fear is that as the US economy continually moves left on this spectrum by more social programs, nationalizing of banks is only going to make life worse. The profit incentive gets lost. My "fearmongering" as you call it is simply pointing out that the country is moving towards the left of the spectrum. Call me a "fearmongerer" if you will but I hate government interference in the market. The more that happens the less free people become.
