I would like to emphasize to my readers that there are two excellent forums for discussing nondemocratic, syncretic, and far-right ideologies. The first is a new one called Iron March. The second deals with all ideologies but has a special section called "Paternalism & Corporatism" where the above listed ideologies are discussed. It is called The Politics Forum, or PoFo. I am now regularly posting on these forums.
I would also like to inform those readers who did not already know it that the list of recommended websites is connected to feeds whereby the blogs are automatically listed by order of most recent update.

Fun with Ngrams (part 2): social justice, discriminatory, Capitalism etc.
This post was inspired by two posts at Audacious Epigone's blog: one on discrimination and one on social justice.
The following Ngrams will showcase the evolving meaning of discrimination from being something good to being something bad. It will also be demonstrated that the frequencies of usage of "social justice" and "Capitalism" began increasing dramatically at around the same time as the change in the meaning of discrimination. All the Ngrams are from the American English corpus with a smoothing of 1. To see higher resolution versions click on the images. To see the Ngram viewers from which they were taken, click on the links over the word Ngram.
The first Ngram plots the following words, from 1840 to 2008, in the following order: discriminate,discriminatory,discriminating,discriminated
The second Ngram plots the following words from 1840 to 2008: discriminate,discriminate against,discriminated against,discrimination against,discriminating against,discriminatory
The third Ngram plots the following words from 1840 to 2008: discrimination,discrimination against,discriminatory,discriminating
The fourth Ngram plots the following words from 1880 to 2008: Capitalism,social justice,discriminatory
Analysis of Ngrams will come later.
