Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - American Legion - 1930s

According to congressional testimony in the 1930s several of the American Legion's leaders, including its original bankroller Irénée du Pont, plotted a fascist coup against the Government of Franklin D. Roosevelt called the Business Plot. According to testimony the plot was averted because Major General Smedley Butler warned Roosevelt of the plan. The Congressional investigation later concluded that th ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Coup d'état - Types of coups

Samuel P. Huntington has divided coups into three types (ignoring Luttwak's non-military coups) Breakthrough coups - In which a revolutionary army overthrows a traditional government and creates a new bureaucratic elite. Breakthrough coups are generally led by non-commissioned officers (NCOs) or junior officers and only happen once. Examples include China in 1911, Egypt in 1952, Greece in 1967 and Liberia in 1980. Guardian coups - These coups have been described as musical chairs. The stated aim ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Coup d'état - Recent forms of coup

In recent years, the traditional military coup has declined massively in use. A new, more contemporary form of military intervention which some regard as a coup d'état is simple threat of military force to remove a particularly unpopular leader. This has occurred twice in the Philippines. In contrast to previous coups d'état, the military does not directly assume power, but rather serves as an arbiter for civilian leaders. In recent years mass street protests have also often been able to force unpopular and corrupt leaders fr ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Fascism and ideology - Fascism & the United States Welfare State

(More contemporary examples of fascism and the United States are discussed on the page Neo-Fascism). While many people hold the view that there are certain fascist elements operating within the United States, certainly very few scholars would call the U.S., in its entirety, a fascist country. Nonetheless, cases have been made both for and against this allegation on all sides of the political spectrum. This section will focus on claims arising from the Presi ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Coup d'état - Post-military-coup governments

After the coup, the military is faced with the issue of the type of government to establish. In Latin America, it was common for the post-coup government to be led by a junta, a committee of the chiefs of staff of the various armed forces. A common form of African post-coup government is the revolutionary assembly, a quasi-legislative body made of members elected by the army. In Pakistan, the military leader ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Fascism and ideology - Fascism and totalitarianism

Since the fall of the Nazi regime, many theorists have argued that there are similarities between the government of Nazi Germany and that of Stalin's Soviet Union. In most cases this has taken the form of arguing that both Nazism and Stalinism are forms of totalitarianism. They condemn both groups as dictatorships and totalitarian police states. They argue that communist states have had much in common with fascist states, in matters ranging from militarism to censorship. In addition, both Hitler and Stalin committed mass murder of their coun ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Fascism and ideology - Fascism

Fascism, capitalized, was the authoritarian political movement which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. Similar political movements spread across Europe between World War I and World War II and took several forms such as Nazism and Clerical fascism. The term neo-fascism is generally used to describe post-WWII movements seen to have fascist attributes. More generally, fascism, uncapitalized, is typified by totalitarian attempts to impose state control over all aspects of life: p ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Fascism and ideology - Fascism and the political spectrum

Despite important differences from other right-wing ideologies, fascism is often considered to be a part of "the Right." This is somewhat parallel to the customary inclusion of Marxism-Leninism (and, in particular, that of the Stalinist Soviet Union and Maoist China) in "the left." Nonetheless, fascism differs significantly from other politics that are usually classified as right-wing, and most right-wingers (even many far right groups) reject any association with it. Most left-wingers (even m ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Business Plot - Background

In 1932, during the height of the Great Depression, the Bonus Army, composed of thousands of World War I veterans, demonstrated in Washington, D.C. seeking immediate payment of a "bonus" granted by the Adjusted Service Certificate Law of 1924, which deferred payment until 1945. They were led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant, and encouraged by an appearance from retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler. Butler had considerable influence over the veterans, being one of th ...

Business Plot: Encyclopedia II - Business Plot - Historical Treatment

Those who hold with the existence of the conspiracy propose several scenarios in explaining why the affair did not become a cause celebre, among which are: The story was an embarrassment to people of influence, and it was best to sweep it under the rug as quickly as possible. In 1934, newspapers were controlled by a relatively small elite — according to then-Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes, 82% of all dailies had monopolies in their communities. Proponents of the theory thus suggest that the media ...
