Medieval guilds could turn a trade into a route to city government.
Zunftrepubliken made economic membership a source of political power.
Who stayed outside?

@brewminate.bsky.socialA company ruled Bengal, then needed a rescue.
Parliament’s 1773 reforms strengthened supervision while Company rule continued.
Who would make it answer to the governed?
@cubanx.bsky.socialWhat really troubles me is how techies don't get #fascism. It is, like Mussolini defined it, #corporatism: Unification of private business and the state.
All this talk about how deregulation somehow leads to small govern...

@guitarsuncat.bsky.socialThe term #Corporatism first appears in NAZI state formulating documentation, by administrators who wanted to use it as a term to describe Hitler's means of imposing NAZI socialist ideology. Hitler, like Trump, pandered to workers then betrayed them to #Corporate ownership. Hitler chose not to use it
@guitarsuncat.bsky.socialMoney as speech and Corporations as persons are actually ideological political beliefs, which makes #Corporatism (coined by NAZI administrators) a political ideology. It's subversive of rights obtainment to person. It's oligarchical. Unlimited donations for corporations is WILDLY CORRUPT and #Unfair
@guitarsuncat.bsky.socialIn order for our system to not work you have to #Subvert it somehow. GOP #Corporatism, which is how one may term GOP's fascist ideology, subverts preeminant rights obtainment to physical person by ascribing to corporate entity certain personal rights thereby according ownership a 2nd political voice
@guitarsuncat.bsky.social#Corporatism is the actual fascist threat, b/c it has the means, motive and opportunity to #Subvert the democratic process. Things like packing SCOTUS by trampling democratic norms. Interfering in elections, as Trump organized repeatedly and SCOTUS permits. Ideology is no threat. #Lawlessness is
@guitarsuncat.bsky.social#Corporatism is the legal theory that pits corporations against persons, by granting corporations their own political voice in addition to ownership's existing personal political voice. Then #Corporatism grants deep corporate pockets that can be filled by any means, an unlimited donations megaphone.
@garycur.bsky.socialThe minimum wage is the most controlling factor of #Corporatism (corporate fascism) poor sick ppl don't have the means tofight back. 23$ an hour if kept up is still institutional income inequality. Amost 45k is still poverty in our economy.

@guitarsuncat.bsky.socialYes, it's on purpose. Welcome to the party, pal. Trump is #Lawless. Something he learned at home and from Roy Cohn. It's hand in glove w/ #Libertarianism, #Corporatism and/or "sovereign defense" against government prosecution: Is Trump Ignoring Court Orders on Purpose?
