In practice, only a few elites in the corporation control these decisions. What we get is more influence for a few who may or may not even be citizens and less less influence by individual citizens. It’s just another step toward fascism.

So? Not everyone ought to be leaders... some people are much better at striving for goals then setting/determining good goals, esp. when a group is involved.

What we get is more influence for a few who may or may not even be citizens and less less influence by individual citizens.

Except there's nothing indicating that was the case in the Citizens United case which, IIUC, was a group of citizens banding together to make a political documentary/video (regarding Hillary Clinton, IIRC) — should a group have fewer rights than an individual? If so, doesn't this fly in the face of the First amendment?

It’s just another step toward fascism.

No, fascism is when the government dictates the actions of the corporations. If you look at the amount of regulations imposed by the federal government I'd argue that we're already in a fascistic society. (EPA anyone?)
