Which is a hallmark of fascism, not communism. It's a symbiotic relationship based on profit, not control. That's why they're boasting about how "rich" they're going to make each other. Hell, in Mussolini-era Italy, many fascists branded themselves "national corporatists" in order to sell their agenda.

Corporations have far too much power in this country to ever fully submit to "state control" anyhow.
