The "Industrial State" of Galbraith is an organizational requirement of industrial production. Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
Actually, the Fascist corporatism has little in common with what's going on in the US now, because the latter is still ideologically married to individualism
Corporatism (Italian: corporativismo) is a political culture in which adherents believe that the basic unit of the society is some corporate group, rather than the individual. Political cultures which hold the individual as the basic unit are called individualistic cultures. The basic unit of the society is what people in the culture consider to be the proper concern of the government.
If the power of the state and corporations could be harnessed to do a swell job of blowing shit up what would happen if that power was directed towards building shit up? And then proceeded to try.
BTW,Racism is not wedded to Fascism. In France, for example, there were people who were ardent Fascists and actively subverted the Nazi racial actions. She believed in nothing; only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist. -- Jean-Paul Sartre
