22. Fascism per El Duce is:
The merger of corporation and the state.

Now the elements to achieve this would be:

Nationalism
Racism
Scapegoating
Chauvenism
Excess abuse of power
Tyranny
Violence
Suppression of liberty
etc ...

Those are the systems to which the ultimate end is to ensure that the fusion of state and capital are one and united - and that the state/corporate assets flow in the "correct" direction, which would be away from the majority (poor and enemies of the state) and flows towards the elite few (wealthy and those in power).

Fascism, in Mussolini's day demanded that the state was absolute and that capital/corporation was subserviant to the state.

Today, it's inverted. Neo-fascism demands that the state serves the corporation/capital and they are absolute.

Just my opinion.

Anyone agree?
