They also make no distinction between corporations controlling governments and governments controlling corporations. They lump them both into the category of fascism.
I personally believe that the US and much of Western Europe is now immune from fascism because of ethnic diversity and so many people being so far removed from the land that the ideology of fascism no longer has a place in the West.
Also, since corporations are multinational it is hard to see how any national government could put those corporations that are merely incorporated in their countries under their thumb. If the WEF, IMF, UN, etc. can successfully rein in the multinationals then we would have some global ideology that would more approximate Marxism than fascism.
China appears to be fascist. Japan, and other countries that are still ethnically homogenous, could become fascist but I think even that is a long shot. With corporations becoming multinational, and so many careers so far removed from the particular geographic features of each country, fascism is now merely an invective launched against one's political enemies.
Another YouTube money beggar for people too lazy to educate themselves.
read the comment section of that video. Ryan Chapman left out all the key parts of what fascism is to the point there is over 100 posts saying that sounds like Trump.
Fascism is largely a meaningless term as even during Mussolini’s time no one defined it correctly. Fascism is an economic theory that centered trade power within national trade unions instead of private companies. These trade unions would in turn support the government when called upon as a form of natuonal socialism. Nazi economic theory is one of central command economy controlled bynthe government, but managed by private/public corporations. China is the closest to a pure National Socialist economic system today. The NASDP (Nazi party) mixed in scapegoating ethnic groups as a means tonsucre absolute power by stoking fear and hate. This later evolved onto a race based class system as the pathological behavior of those in power grew over time. The Nazi’s were a truely unique socialist tyranny never seen before or since in history, but they were not Fascists nor considered themselves so.
I’ve seen this. It’s quite good.
As much as the left accuses the right of fascism, aside for nationalist and populist leanings, all of the rest — and the bad parts — of fascism lie completely and unequivocally on the left.

They’re all different but share the same vision of utopian authoritarianism.
Bill Clinton and Tony Blair thought a clever new name for it ... “The Third Way”.
fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Fascism is really socialism with a very thin veneer of capitalism. When things are going well govt takes credit. When things go bad, govt blames businesses and privatizes some of the “offending” companies/industries.
Its really just socialism by regulatory control, so much control they effectively are in charge of private industry. But its kept as a veneer to keep it separate from the state so the state always has a Goldstein to blame when the economy tanks and keeps getting worse.
