The Dems aren’t socialists; they are corporatists. They would prefer to organize society into a small number of hierarchical interest groups: labor, industry, government, racial identity groups, etc. Then the elite leaders of these groups can bargain on behalf of their subjects. At least, that’s how corporatism works in theory.

Their is another name for what you describe very well, Fascism.

[tanknetter]

thats it exactly. Corporatism goes by different names; Crony Capitalism, Third Position Economics, Fascism.

At the root, it all amounts to command economics where the government calls the shots by the means of production and delivery remain in “private” hands.

With “private” being defined as large corporations that, of course, given the way consumers are force driven into buying their products and services, will love to work hand in hand implementing the governments directives!

“that’s how corporatism works in theory.”

I think that’s how Nazism works in theory: the government controls all the corporations and thus controls all the people.
