Is this the beginning of the US sovereign fund?

That's what is being said. The Intel stake is a first step to a US sovereign fund that will include ownership stakes in many corporations.

is merging interests of the state and corporations marks a return to good ole fascism ?

or is it just an alternative way of taxing capital? instead of taxing wealth and capital, just take an equity stake in it ?

But when you link evidence that hitler had secret meetings with capitalist business leaders to bankroll him, the entire mefo bill nonsense, etc to the "were nazis socialist?" argument you get downvoted.

Well it's complicated... Is China socialist? What about state capitalism in general?
