18. It's actually more of an integral part of true Fascism which is basically the merging of the Autocracy and Monopolies

Specifically a very few Monopolistic Controllers of the economy that let the Autocratic regime share directly in their wealth for a share of autocratic power, , who use that economy, and forcibly use the underclass people to generate and fight for it if necessary, in a quid pro quo that benefits their bottom line and the Autocrats thirst for social dominance. It requires sharing between the two to put it bluntly and is often where fascistic regimes end up cleaving themselves, a civil war of at the top power level. At least that's how I remember it being taught to me in college .
