@aburtch Fascism's inventor Mussolini said that fascism is the merging of state and industry.Capitalism out of control sees everything as utilitarian.

Neoliberalism always has been a rich mans game, starting with the well funded Heritage and Chicago school 80 years ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR4eSEetKP0
