(I don't know if you're also well-informed about what I'm talking about, but you "hit the nail in the head"...)

What these people want, is (putting it in simple terms) a "fascist" society, that is a mixture of capitalist and communist ideals. That is, a society where big corporations dictate what happens, and in which almost everything is privatized, but in which there's also a pretty strong "Welfare State" - which decides what type of education people get, what type of healthcare etc, and which taxes more the people who earn more (except for the ultra-rich, who have their puppets making the laws), so that everyone ends up earning pretty much the same, as in a communist society. And, were (despite the rhetoric) that so-called "Welfare State" actually exists to control people in their private lives, by eliminating their power of decision to spend their money as they see fit. And, where people who don't obey the State (that is, behind the scenes, controlled by the big corporations) don't get their (tax) money back.

As I said in a previous comment, and as any well-informed person about politics knows...

This is pretty much what we already have... Even with the so-called "socialist" parties in Europe, that, when occupying a government, either maintain the economy in private hands, or even privatize it. And, the similarity with Nazi Germany is no coincidence... Since that, Fascism is a by-product of such an ideal of society. Having the fascist leaders taken some ideas from propaganda that existed, in the beginning of the last century, that already advocated for such a society.

Some of the surviving nazis, and people who shared the nazi ideology, were even recruited for this project of society, due to its similarity with their "previous" ideology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Party_of_Europe, http://paramimtantofaz.blogspot.pt/2010/06/quem-sera.html). And, it's no coincidence that the surveillance project known as "Facebook", for example, has even a "former" nazi behind it (http://www.danielestulin.com/2011/05/12/facebook-la-maquina-espia-mas-atroz/).

All that you have to do, to notice such similarities with what our Western society has gradually evolved to, is to (even slightly) study the history of fascist movements. And, when/if you do it, always remember the (very) important aspect that, before they were dictatorships, the countries with such regimes were also democracies. (And, if it happened once...)

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
