The Wal-Mart Effect is a 2006 book by business journalist Charles Fishman, a senior editor at Fast Company magazine, which describes local and global economic effects attributable to the retail chain Walmart.[1][2][3]





Republicans championed this model of expansion



It devastated small businesses all over the nation

America’s mainstream media is by now comfortable talking and writing about “authoritarianism”. Maybe it should also begin using the term “fascism”, where appropriate.

Even Joe Biden, never known as a rhetorical bomb-thrower, last Thursday accused the Republican party of “semi-fascism”.

Authoritarianism implies the absence of democracy, a dictatorship. Fascism – from the Latin fasces, denoting a tightly bound bundle of wooden rods typically including a protruding axe blade, adopted by Benito Mussolini in the 1930s to symbolize his total power – is different.

It is amazing that the same people who have no problem say such horrible things about everyone else are so fragile when it comes to themselves.

that wooden bundles represents the different parts coming together in a stronger super structure, notably business and government in the case of fascist totalitarianism.
 
but yes, fascism and totalitarianism are not synonymous, though they often show up together.
