"Fascism" has too many ambiguous understandings and "corporatocracy" is long and often confusing to people who hear it for the first time. GovCorp is perfect, and almost rhymes with tyranny.

Also fascism is the exact inverse of this system

I disagree.

I think they're fusing the worst of fascism and worst of communism into their ultimate control goal: global totalitarianism without options.

Fascists typically supported things like- traditional gender rolls & cultural values, a socialised economy, preserving nature & militant Nationalism.

How does that in any way resemble today’s economically right wing & socially far-left hellscape of a system?

traditional gender rolls

The male tactical military roll and the female waltz and somersault roll.

"Jelly roll", in the 1920s was slang for making whoopee.

So, nothing to do with fascism at all then. Just bog standard capitalism/communism, like I said.

I think you've misunderstood the term 'corporatism' much like chomsky. It's a governing ideology that has nothing to do with private corporations. What were looking at is not fascism which as others have pointed out in most ways was and is the opposite of what we see today. What you have today is capitalist and neo-liberal economics coupled with insane levels of social liberalism -- the two perfectly compliment one another. That's literally the opposite of fascism both in ideal and practice and shouldn't be called that.

'corporatism'

I said "corporatocracy". (((They))) get all the benefits of extremist capitalism monopolies mashed up with the extremist socialism too big to fail bailouts while pulling puppet strings of all government - all in a unified globalist Washington consensus settled upon in their shadow government, deep state, think tanks, and executive boardrooms within which they incestuously intermingle.

Got you I thought you were saying was that what we're living under is Fascism somehow. Carry on, sir.

Jason got it right. This new world order is an amalgamation of policies and philosophies, created to appease as many people, and created to be able to shift and change to fit the coming days. They have created a moldable worldwide corporation known as the government. They operate just like a corporation would, not like a respectful group of capable leaders should. It's not really capitalism, fascism, or anything. It's like a homunculi, a many headed hydra.
