This is simply brilliant.
I always call the United States a fascist dictatatorship, but it leaves a bitter taste, since I know that's not entirely true.
There are subtle elements I'm not accounting for.
A "Managed Democracy" is perfect. It accounts for that the corporations took over the government instead of the other way around. It accounts for that protests and free speech are "allowed." It accounts for why people are at the same time militantly patriotic but apathetic at the polls. It accounts for propaganda being distributed rather than centralised.
This guy Wolin has put a lot of thought into this.
