As I said before, I agree with your main point that thus far the US
business has no need for fascism yet, because it gets want it wants
through liberal democratic means.  I do not think, however, that this
will continue indefinitely.  The business class ambition of power grow
exponentially with the past successes to get their way, but sooner or
later they will be thwarted - by the ruling classes of other countries
(China? India? United Europe?), a popular movement, an environmental
catastrophe, or perhaps a combination thereof.  And when such a moment
arrives, fascism may look like a desirable option to the US business
elite.
