Ok, seems that we have different views of what this is....So....
What is it?
Is that what we are now?
1 corporations in bed with government
2 yes
Here's a good article for you:

Might > Right ie. the might of the gun to trump the rights of the individual.
We are in limbo.
yea, there isn't really a clear definition, people always disagree and use the word to mean different things
I always think of Fascism as the operation of the government for the benefit of well-connected big business and if that's the definition, then we are living under a fascist system
A dictatorship that has complete power over all the people that live under it.
a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
But since corporations have so much influence versus the power of the people, the people that say "it's fascism" are saying the corporations are the dictator.
corporate personhood
The idea behind it is so fucking stupid that we had to make up a new word for it... because it was never supposed to exist because corporations are not people.
