Fascism or not, it is certainly CONTROL. As for one or two 'entities',
that is not the pattern. Look at the model. The US corporate system
doesn't have monopolies. It is set up as oligopolies. The advantage is
obvious. People would never tolerate monopoly because it is BLATANT.
But oligopoly looks like competition even though the three or four
dominant corporations secretly work together to fix prices and keep
smaller companies from gaining their market share.
As long as there are no democratic controls on the capitalist system
of economics, you will ALWAYS have the Rich and their corporations
drive to own and control EVERYTHING.
There is no freedom in a free market for anyone but the Rich .
