No, you are wrong, corporatism is what has been the economic model BEFORE Obama and is what the Republican elite embrace. You’re just confused because Rush calls it “capitalism” when Repubicans do it. Taking over 1/6th of economy, taking over GM/Chrysler, and firing the CEO is the very definition Marxist.

Marxism and Fascism share many similarities. Both are forms of Socialism. Under Marxism, there is a control of the means of production by the proletariat, which would be the workers. Syndicalism, which is what the union structure is based on, modifies this by controlling the workers through forced unions and collectivist co-opts. Finally, full=blown Fascism marries these unions and co-opts to the government, creating a monolithic authority.

Isn’t this what 0bama is doing?
The “bailouts” didn’t simply turn the companies over to the workers, giving them all a stake in the automakers.
It turned them over to the unions, specifically, and gave the State the controlling authority. If this isn’t textbook Fascism, I don’t know what is. Even Hitler was less overt than that.

Now 0bama wants to apply the Syndicalist model to healthcare, by establishing healthcare co-opts. These co-opts will be one manufactured ‘crisis’ away from Fascist consolidation under the State. Think Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
