Corporations Are People When Texas Excutes One T-Shirt

Noteable characteristics of fascism which are directly produced by corporatism are: *The suppression of organised labour (organised labour is the bane of corporations and the only real check on corporate power other than government or the legal system). *Supremacy of the military (it is necessary to produce and protect corporate profits abroad and threats from abroad); *Cronyism and governmental corruption (it is very beneficial to have ex-corporate employees run the agencies or make the laws that are supposed to regulate or check corporations); *Fraudulent elections (especially those where corporations run the machinery of elections and count the votes or where judges decide their outcomes); *Nationalism (disdain for other countries that might promote individual rights); *Obsession with national security (anti-corporatists are a security risk to the corporate status quo); *Control of the media (propaganda works); *Obsession with crime and punishment (anti-corporatists belong in jail); and Disdain for intellectuals and the arts (these people see corporatism for what it is and are highly individualistic).
