The hed isn't really answered to my satisfaction, but it's an interesting look into things.

Watched a few minutes, but at 35min, could really use a TL;DR.

Fascists make it, because they use their capital to target labour rights.

It's all made by the same few companies and then labeled according to brand.

Source: I work in grocery.

I Have seen Walmart bread come to the non-Walmart store I work in mixed with the bread for the store I work for. I Have seen name brand products come in to the store I work at for testing and after a test period are miraculously replaced with a store brand labeled variant in the exact same packaging.

The bullshit about bespoke recipes and highest quality ingredients is all bullshit. Your food all comes from the same handful of companies processed in the same plants on the same machines with packaging labels swapped out for branding.

The brand cereal is the same as the cheap cereal. The brand canned goods are the same as the store brand. The brand chicken is the same as the store chicken. The produce comes from the same farms.

The only real variance is regional distribution.

There are items that definitely unique to Trader Joe's

For example the carne asada frozen burritos

They also have been known to steal family or small business recipes under the guise of partnership and then cut them out of all profits. Those are a lot of the unique items (I assume the chili lime cashew nuts ate that)

Fascism is the joining of corporate and government power. It is the definition. Thats what America has been doing since the 70s.

Well we don't have to wonder, homie. The man himself said what it is:

Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.
