In many ways this OP is an incredibly useful synthesis of what's going on in our country, and you can tell that a LOT of hard work went into it. And for that I'm very thankful indeed; I've bookmarked this so I can follow up on some of the indiv sources at a later date. However, while this OP *IS* detailing an important narrative regarding our country's fall into a fundamentally unfair system of government, that system is neither fascism nor corporatism. Spend a little time examining various scholars' attempts to define either term if you doubt me. What the OP is describing is our fall into oligarchy. Claiming it's something it's not is only going to muddy our message.
