Mmm. It is a rather new phenomenon - the collusion of state and big 
capital to capture markets by diktat, rather than by competition. It is 
very similar to the  way Russia is run, although there, with no 
democracy, they don't even bother to pretend its anything but a mafia 
supported oligarchy.

I don't think it has any good name. We knew who the Fascists were in the 
1930s because they called themselves Fascists, and they competed with 
the communists for control of totalitarian regimes.

Today both right and left are leaning towards totalitarianism again.

With the full support of global megabucks.
