Government was forced into action after fascism was allowed to rise to a level of that which forced us to act for self preservation. A wise government would not have allowed the actions that led up WWII happen. Men were crossing into Canada to volunteer long before our government was to get involved. So I disagree that government was the solution to the rise of fascism. The will of free men to support their country in times of war were, I feel, the answer. Mans free will, not governments ability to dictate it, is what will lead us to a successful society. Why does it have to be the governments responsibility to see that we succeed? Should they, the government, not just set the rules, then allow us, the citizens, to prosper by our own wills and desires to succeed? I believe less government control, and the proper amount of oversight will lead us to prosper again. I don't believe socialism is the answer.
