what are your examples of his "unmasked fascism?"
genuinely curious

I have a feeling that his connections to Thiel will in fact lead to an alarming strengthening of corporate/State collusion. But I'm not clear on why Trump gets the F word and Dem politicians don't 🤷♀️
Because fascism has a definition that is different from socialism, despite what many have been led to believe.
We’re overdue for new -ism’s. I prefer nostrism 🤙
I don't think anyone questions that fascism is different from socialism.
It seems to me that we need a new name for the what's happening now, whereby the power of the state is used to support but is also subsumed into (global) corporate interests. I think Mussolini's idea was govt taking control of communications, industry, etc and there's certainly been plenty of that (Biden admin actions on social media companies as just one example) but the incredible lobbying power of private interests so that corporations essentially take over the govt - that's, what, corporatism? And Trump - rhetoric notwithstanding -seems as willing to go in that direction as Biden has been.
