lets call it neo-fascism, some combination of the various definitions that ultimately results in the basic idea of government-industry collaboration that injures a nations liberty.

Liberty is one of those dirty words that for example James Madison used to foist on the nation the outcome of the soft coup on the government under the articles of confederation that was known as the Constitutional Convention. It made him an extremely wealthy man. It's almost as vague as Fascism, and almost no one agrees to work within the definitions in Webster's dictionary when it comes to their fellow citizens.

Now you are just choosing to argue over irrelevant minutia.

James Madisons wealth is nothing when compared to leaders of the day, Kings, Queens, Emperors, Tsars were all exponentially more wealthy that any founding father.

Now you've built a strawman, subconsciously I suspect. I feel for you. Cognitive Dissonance is a bitch.

Another strawman, and an incorrect application of a fallacy label. It is not easy.
