    I would argue they also want the government to collect money from taxpayers and distribute it to the rich in the form of subsidies and contracts.

      I mean, in practical terms, yes, but they will argue amongst themselves as to exactly the specifics, or if they go full libertarian and axe as much of that as possible.

      See the current situation of US Farmers.

      Basically all their direct subsidies have been decimated, SNAP got decimated and that was a huge indirect subsidy for farmers.

      They will probably keep subsidizing the fuck out of oil and gas, but when you get to full fascism, it becomes much less formal and much more arbitrary, impulsive, less well defined, more ‘what have you done for me lately’ style corruption.
