Corporate fascism...I didn't even know that was a thing. A quick wikipedia read seems to suggest it isn't fascism. (corporatism != fascism)

- moorhosj 8y agoI never said they were the same. In this case, the President is using fascist techniques (nationalism, militarism, suppression of opposition, theatrics, purging the disloyal or RINO's, cult of personality) in order to implement a pro-corporate strategy (as I laid out in my initial post).
- soundwave106 8y agoFascist corporatism is a thing in the Wikipedia article on corporatism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism#Fascist_corporatism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism#Fascist_corporatis...) but I don't think that applies here, given the strong role of employers and trade unions in the description (Italy's style of fascism seems to be the backdrop for the term). The term I found in Wikipedia, that to me seems to describe the fear being expressed, is inverted totalitarianism.
