I'm pretty sure that's state capitalism. Just as the USSR masqueraded state capitalism as communism, the US masquerades a mostly inverse-totalitarian, over-regulated (but in the pro-corporate, harmful way) state as a liberal capitalist democracy.

I agree, the Soviet Union had a form of collectivization. But I do not think they were communist per say.

US masquerades a mostly inverse-totalitarian, over-regulated (but in the pro-corporate, harmful way) state as a liberal capitalist democracy.

The US masquerades as faux-inverse-totalitarian, in that they pretend to not be totalitarian, when clearly they are. With the passing of the NDAA (Act of War - legalization on domestic soil), calling laypersons belligerants within said legislation, and implementing an invisble surviellance apparatus when the economy collapses, as well as th passing of the Patriot act -- it is fair to say the US is indeed heading towards a form of totalitarianism, imposed and implemented by intelligence agencies and corporatists.

You're right, we are a inverse-totalitarian, oligharcic-plutocrate-technocratic-feudalist like corporatocracy that runs on cronyism, and over regulation of the layperson and middle class and deregulation of creditors, and corporatists.

In fact one of the goals is to rid of the middleclass. Slowly of course.
