Sorry but you are absolutely wrong about this, and your source is horrible. Wikipedia is not likely to tell you anything true about fascism. The CIA was literally created specifically to destroy fascism. this article even gets the symbolism of the roman fasces wrong...it actually means exactly what it look like: strength from unity. And the unity included the common people...NOT merely the elite. It was a symbol of populism...and the usa used to pretend to be a populist country.Majik » 19 Mar 2024, 10:54 am » wrote: ↑ When The Government Colludes With The Major Corporations –> FASCISM
With the chartering of the very first corporations in the USA came the purposeful and inexorable development of the Government-Corporate Complex. Today, the resulting fascist corporatocracy exerts its power in civil society throughout every sphere of life. In matters of law and order, and war and peace, this “800 pound gorilla” acts with an impunity that rivals the imperialism of Rome*.
The ever-present fasces of the Roman Empire were paraded throughout the far reaches of the empire, wherever naked and brutal force was required to keep the newly conquered kingdoms and tribes in check. The very same “bound bundle of wooden rods with protruding axe-blade” sits right on the front wall behind the podium (two fasces on either side) in the main chamber of the US House of Representatives in the nation’s capital.
The term fascismo is derived from the Latin word fasces.[15] The fasces, which consisted of a bundle of rods that were tied around an axe,[16] was an ancient Roman symbol of the authority of the civic magistrate.[17] They were carried by his lictors and could be used for corporal and capital punishment at his command.[18][19] The word fascismo also relates to political organizations in Italy known as fasci, groups similar to guilds or syndicates.

In fascism, the state shares no power with private corporations. In reality, private corporations have NO power. The moment the state decides that some factory needs to pay its workers x wage, thr factory must comply...they have zero negotiation power. Fascism is in fact far more in favor of workers rights than communism ever was...and this is a big reason why the usa was terrified of fascism and why Wikipedia lies so much about it.
Germany had an equivalent of a military industrial complex that existed in ww1, and was a big reason why ww1 was so horrible. Do you know one of the first things Hitler did when he acquired power? He executed them all. Not simply dismantle the institution...executed everyone involved.
you can confirm what the nsdap felt about large corporations and war profiteering by simply looking up point 12 and 13 of the nsdap party platform. And yes, they kept their word on these issues in practice.
