A few folks on here seem to think that only socialists and communists are into nationalisation. This is false. Fascism is totalitarian, to use Mussolini's own term. This means *every* aspect of society and the economy is made to serve the interests of the State. Seizing whole industries is considered acceptable if it furthers the fascist political agenda. So the Trump admin now owns a stake in Intel? Remember that today's Republicans are about as "libertarian" as the Nazis were socialist.

Folks aren't going to stop calling Trump's economic interventionism "communism" are they? Two more posts seen today. Nope, it's just more fascism! The Nazis fully or partially seized control of BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and many other companies. Scroll up for a quote from Mussolini himself advocating for it. He called it "corporatismo". When were fascists ever for small government and laissez-faire?! They've always wanted the State to manage the economy and all other aspects of our lives.
