    Merger is the key word.

    Corporates do have some power, to greater or lesser degrees, in most government systems. But very few have the level of control over writing laws and paying politicians that the USA has.

    Corporatism doesn't have to come with racism. Technically fascism neither, but nobody uses it like that.
