    Under fascism, all corporations become an extension of the government. Those that refuse to are nationalized or eliminated.

        Because under communism you’d get a redistribution of wealth to everyone. In Trump’s case the redistribution is the inverse. The methods differ a bit too. During a communist revolution the redistribution is done by the people, and sometimes quite violently. Trump’s redistribution is more subtle than that, and is going to involve marketing, laws and last, but certainly not least, government procurement contracts.

        I’d bet that if mcdonalds sucked the old cheesepuff enough, they could get a lucrative contract for MREs. Or an exclusive contract for restaurants in military installations.

        Get ready to see big corporations lining up outside the Whitehouse with knee pads and a box of tic tacs.

          Only if you don’t know what communism is : a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

          Calling something that isn’t that communism doesn’t magically make it that, just like calling something (national) socialism doesn’t make it that.

          So please, do explain how massive corporations as an extension of the state fit in to actual communism. (I won’t wait)

            I know I am going to come under fire for this, but when have you last seen true communism?

              Of course not, because it’s never been done. That’s why we need to keep trying again and again instead of accepting that perhaps it’s impossible because it’s been tried countless of times and cost countless lives and still never succeeded. /s
