You're being downvoted, but you're not really wrong. It might present differently, but the reality is that the government and large, powerful corporations are separate entities more or less in name only.
If the interests of a large corporation serves the interest of the people in the government, they'll move every lever of government they can to support the corporation, and vice versa. That's basically exactly what the fascism you describe intended and attempted.
- sudosysgen 6y agoIndeed. What separates fascism from authoritarianism is the merger of state and corporation. If you mix the convergence of state and government along with the effective dissolution of the rights to privacy and the rights to free speech, along with the post-truth nature of so much of today's media (remember WMDs? It's not just Fox News), the argument that we're approaching some kind of fascism isn't completely devoid of merit.
