Former Metro Planning Director: Planners are Fascists

For years some people have been accusing planners of being fascists, socialists, and/or communists. Now we have a professional planners saying it!

Here is exactly what former Metro Planning Director, Rich Carson, wrote about planners:

No, they are not all terrorists. But they do make pretty good communists and fascists. Planners want organization and for all things to be predictable. The profession came into being in the 1960s. So they tend to believe in the issues spawned in the day. They are environmental socialists. In other words, they believe in collective environmentalism (Gore) and not individual environmentalism.”

Mayor Sam Adams said about this incident that "This is a city and a state that prides itself on, you know, clean government." That is not true. These people are morally bankrupt ideologues. To say they are socialists would be to underestimate them. I am fine with socialists and capitalists. These people are fascists. They force you to do their bidding.
