This is part of what true fascism looks like
It's looked that way for a long time, we just can't play pretend, anymore. And for those who keep trotting out the "told you so," we told you the Dems needed to stop playing pretend and get serious with serious candidates, rather than slightly less fascist fascists.
Yeah, well, what does that guy know about fascism?
I thought he was mostly remembered for his diet plans.
Corporation in the sense he's using it is muddled, but what this is describing is accurate to what he meant. He meant that industry should be run by cooperative alliances that are under the fascist state. Like most fascists, he was always shifting what he meant by corporatism based on whatever rhetorical expediant that was most useful at the time. Corporatism sounds good but in principle it doesn't describe how exactly you form the corporations and how they govern themselves. It's accurate in the sense that this is an example of what he desired in using state power to always be a boot over any cooperative.
See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism to understand it's essentially a theory to contrast itself with Marxisim without actually describing specifics so it has wildly different interpretations that basically boil down to "let's get together and do what's best for everybody." Who knows how to draw the rest of the owl though.
Corporations are dictatorships so that tracks
