2. If it was a merger of corporations AND government, why did he think
it should be called corporatism?

Which part of that word refers to government? Closer to the mark, it's corporations as government. Well, corporations can be small or big, so, even closer to the mark, it's government by big business.

And that will be truer here than ever if Obama succeeds with the TPP. If he does, I would not be surprised if there is armed revolution within 30 years tops. Then again, I've been surprised that armed revolution did not follow the global economic collapse of 2008, brought to us in great part by President Bubba.

So, I guess I'm no weathervane when it comes to armed revolutions. The sheepleness of most people in the Western world never ceases to amaze me.
