Fascism is when the government turns authoritarian socialist but instead of nationalizing businesses (like a full commie state) they allow them to operate but only so long as the operators play ball. Basically the government uses them to run the businesses under government orders.

Watch the movie Schindler's List to see this in action. It's why Schindler had to make a list, he kissed a lot of Nazi butts to stay in business but then the government ordered him to send his Jewish workers to a concentration camp and he didn't want to.

This situation where Biden is ordering Facebook and telecoms to spy on their customers and report them to the government is explicitly fascist.

I have long said that one phrase that should raise alarms for any conservative is, "public-private partnership."

A private entity that has a contract to provide goods and/or services to the government is one thing, and I suppose a necessary evil. PPPs on the other hand, are the economic paving stones on the road to unelected oligarchy, putting policy, and sometimes even decision making powers in the hands of an unelected, unaccountable few.
