Cruz is a theocratic neocon. Complete idiot.
Trump is pretty red-pilled.

Fascism is a broad term. Nazism is considered fascism for example and they did the opposite in that while all major corporations were subsidized by the government you could also not, as a party leader, be involved in ANY private ownership, in other words they had very strict conflict of interest laws.
For example if a party member had a bunch of stock in a milk producing company, they could not be involved with any government regulation of that sector. It's basically all of the positives of our current corporate oligarchy without the crippling negative effect of lobbyists.
That's my understanding of it at least and that will probably never happen in the U.S.. Kinda like getting rid of all guns, there are just too many already in play so you pretty much have to deal with the hand your dealt.
>A merger of state & corporate power"
Holy out of context, batman.
Corporate power as in corporatism.
Corporatism as in groups of society put forth their interest politically.
>Corporatism, also known as corporativism, is the sociopolitical organization of a society by major interest groups, or corporate groups, such as agricultural, business, ethnic, labour, military, patronage, or scientific affiliations, on the basis of common interests. It is theoretically based on the interpretation of a community as an organic body. The term corporatism is based on the Latin root word "corpus" (plural – "corpora") meaning "body"

Corportaism =/= Business corporations converging with the state

Also, corporatism is not exclusively fascist. There are elements seen in Ireland and Hong Kong.

Fascism isn't an ideology, it's a specific political movement from 20th century western europe
Describing something today as "fascist" is the act of an imbecile
Look up "Hitler's Table Talks" and give it a listen/read for a good idea about how fascism deals with private corporate ownership and industry. This will give you a better idea of how it works exactly and what all had to be done to make it work coming out of Weimar Germany. A lot of it's actually pretty brilliant.

This is a pretty good descriptor of what op is looking for. In other words like I said earlier you could think of it like complete subsidizing of all corporations, though from my understanding they are usually still privately owned to some degree.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this though.
