MODERATORS
Yes.
Remember, Mussolini described fascism as the union of corporate and state power.
In the U.S., corporatism is undeniable:
Regulatory Capture: Agencies like the FDA, FCC and the FED are often staffed by former industry execs who later return to high-paying corporate jobs.
Bailouts & Subsidies: Wall Street, Big Oil, and defense contractors get billions in government aid.
Lobbying & Dark Money: Corporations spend billions influencing elections and policy, ensuring laws serve their interests, not the people’s.
Surveillance & Control: Tech giants work hand-in-hand with intelligence agencies to monitor citizens.
