Well it is that but I think it is also that it is, at some informational level, fundamentally incoherent and unreal. It looks fine, but it is not anything. It has no intent in the art strokes (which I think always shows in geometry), it has

OK... drum roll please! I suppose you mean this famous quote: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power" I have news: this is bullshit. This quote is literally fals

You are broadening this out to the point that is absurd and would excuse cracking down on almost any liberalisation, in a way that is kind of prurient. Honestly it's rather creepy and I hope you one day consider what you are saying.
