No quarreling here. It is very important for all to be on the same page regarding the definition of a word though when said word is the topic of the discussion... yes? I find it interesting you claim some form of Fascism being driven by ''so-called Conservatives'', when typically it is the progressive Liberal that always pushes for Gov. to enact debilitating rules and regulations on the free market. But that's just my observation l guess.. ?
Luckily, the 'corporation' Mussolini was talking about was not what we call a corporation today. We know a corporation as a business that has been registered by it's owner with the gov. as a ''corporation''.. Benito was referring to the whole of society as a corporation. We have to make sure we understand the distinction between the two definitions before talking about how gov. may or may not have an impact on one or the other..
