{{cquote|America is going from what used to be the major capitalistic country in the world of free market – a crusader – into what [[Mussolini]] would have called fascism: the merger of state and corporate powers.  So it is not socialism as people believe, it is socialism’s egalitarianism.  It’s not communism where the state controls monopolies – it’s fascism, plain and simple. The merger of corporate and government powers. State-controlled capitalism is called fascism, and fascism has come to America in broad daylight. But they’re feeding them it in little bits and pieces. First [[AIG]] was too big to fail. Mortgage companies [[Fannie Mae]] and [[Freddie Mac]] were too big to fail. Banks too big to fail and auto companies. And now we give money to the people that make the auto parts. And now there’s talk about the technology companies, wanting their piece of the action. The merger of state and government is called fascism. Take it from Mussolini; he knew a thing or two about it.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090422065521/http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/celente2.html  Americans Live in a Fascist State - Russia Today Interviews Gerald Celente]</ref>}}
