The US on the other hand is moving towards a situation where corporate well being is valued above that of both the individual and the nation itself. Though this is clearly undesirable it is also clearly not fascism.

1C released 1946 based on a what-if, which we all love, German and Soviet Alliance pact is another great what-if scenario.
