You may be a bit too intent on looking for ways to prove what you already believe in instead of keeping an open mind about it.

Do giant corporations influence our govt. through money? Hell yes.
But if we didn't allow politicians to have a thousand terms and spend their lives in Washington D.C. taking that money...then the problem wouldn't be there.

Just my opinion. But in the end the govt. is the monster. They are the ones with the power. They are the ones who make the laws. They are the ones who run every detail of your life from what you can and can't do to what you can see, read, and hear.
Think about it.

I'm only paying half attention to what I'm posting here, I have lots going on, but yes, I guess even more appropriately "Corporatism." There are many flavors, everyone seems to have a different definition, and theory and practice always seem to differ.

?Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power?
