Most importantly, though, the meme’s central point revolves around a common misunderstanding of what “corporatism” was in Mussolini’s fascism and a conflation with the modern capitalist “corporation,” most likely borne out of the similarity between the words.
Corporatism (“corporativismo” in Italian) was one of the cornerstone principles in Mussolini’s fascism, and had to do with the way society and the economy would be organized, with state power at the head of a system of guilds or corporations (“corporazione”) representing each major industry.

Facebook, twitter, YouTube - control of social circles.
legacy media - control of information flow to the laymen
your isp's who lobby to control competition by putting an insurmountable mountain of walls in front of people. so much so that starting one up costs millions of dollars in paperwork and examination of those very controls to make sure you don't "break the rules" before you even get things rolling.
Banks who don't just hold the money but tell you where it can go even when you want to spend it on a completely legal and legitimate business
corporations who handle almost all commerce and will fucking strangle you when they can because they can throw money at the government to do so.
that is a merger of state and govt power. this is not flow of commerce this is law manipulation using powers willing to play ball. playing word games gets around none of the fact that this operation is inherently anti-competitive.
Not understanding interplay of long game, cause and effect, precedent, potential is disturbing. is it capitalism when the government shuts everyone down except these very same corporations in order to further solidify their power and make government control of a smaller number of organized corporations easier? thus leading to that exact scenario.
You copy that entire thing and don't even proceed to think about how that can be extrapolated upon further.
you are using a very obvious piece of double think meant to make you go "oh yeah that sounds right" and pacify you.
No, this isn't a merger of anything or an organization into fascist corporations, this is capitalists using whatever they can to outcompete their competition, including treating state power like any other commodity. This is how capitalism and democracy, liberalism, ends.
oh a good quote. im glad copy paste is so hard.

which then leads to what.
ownership of the corporations by government merging them into an entity.
Jesus help this man he is so close and still needs to be walked like a god damn puppy.
No, the ownership of the government by privately-owned capitalist corporations, who absolutely would refuse to be merged.
