Flirting With Relevance

One of the more persistent memes are that I have encountered, especially since the economic meltdown of 2008, is the notion that fascism means rule by corporations. This is usually mixed in with other anti-capitalist rhetoric, but the equation of fascism to corporations was novel to me. Given the level of political naivete that normally circulates on the old interwebby tubes, I initially dismissed it as a bit of mental flatulence from some college sophomore with more time than political sophistication.
