Perhaps you know a lot about this. When Gov and Corps merge, it has historically been referred to as some spectrum of socialism-communism.

So....enlighten me as to the details of your definition of this unholy merger being Fascism? Most sources believe Fascism to be Authoritarianism of different sorts.

Fascism is when you become so nationalist, is when you believe that only native people's should live in your country and all foreign people must never be allowed to reside within your country.

That was a pretty disappointingly vapid response. It appears that the one definition scholars almost unanimously agree on is that Fascism is a hyper authoritarian merging of government and corporations. The other ancillary definitions are not all agreed on. These guys go into some detail to enhance your educational experience.

Very similar to the communist side of the political spectrum.
