   @realcaseyrollins my understanding is fascism is when govt becomes captured by big business, so it depends on what the authoritarianism is about....is it about helping the corporates and hurting smalls. it is to serve the wealthiest, the biggest tech lords, private interests, the hedgefunds, wall street speculators, real estate moguls? then yeah it could be fash. if its enforcing antitrust and protecting public from bad substances then its might be just strict.

     @realcaseyrollins @frogzone mousollini's fascism is when the public and private sectors are indistinguishably merged together. the state gets around things its not allowed to do by having a "private company" do it, and when the "private company" needs help it finds it easily within the government.
     
     basically, the current US Government.

     It sounds like you're describing corporatism. While that can lead into fascism, I don't think that's its only source.

     @realcaseyrollins @frogzone see the retard judges claiming that it doesn't matter if the government personally marked posts for censorship, the "private company" did the actual censoring, and that's why its not a first amendment violation what google/twitter/facebook do, even though its literally the government directing the deletions
