We're talking about a fascist corporatocracy ...

"In Yarvin's view, democratic governments are inefficient and wasteful and should be replaced with sovereign joint-stock corporations whose "shareholders" (large owners) elect an executive with total power, but who must serve at their pleasure."

Talk about projection... this is true socialism, aka, an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production.

Why would ANY red or blue blooded American put up with this? It's certifiably nuts!
