That is literally the definition of a fascict dictatorship.
This is what Adam Smith warned us against.
I think you have hit the nail on the head.
Governments around the world have capitulated to this.
This seems like the financial wing of the whole spyocracy.

- nhebb 11y agoYou should read George Orwell's piece "What is Fascism?" [1]. It's a short essay worth the read before you're tempted to point the finger and call someone or something fascist.

- calibraxis 11y agoI think we all have experience of fascism. It's not a magic thing; currently it's (unfortunately) a very common mode of human organization. "Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist; that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be established at every level -- there's little bargaining, a little give and take, but the line of authority is perfectly straightforward." — http://www.spunk.org/texts/quotes/sp000096.txt http://www.spunk.org/texts/quotes/sp000096.txt (I am not trying to make a pedantic point about who is/isn't acting fascist. Just wanting to say we've very much internalized ideologies which we use as epithets.)
