Trump, Fascism, and the Metaphysics of Democracy

Noam Chomsky says Trump is not a fascist, but he's wrong about why. It's not that Trump is failing to seize control of big business. Fascism is "the continuation of capitalism, an attempt to perpetuate its existence by means of the most bestial and monstrous measures." For all Trump's authoritarianism, capital has yet to call on him to take those steps.
