Most favored companies are a common feature of fascism.

Like such national champions like Airbus and Volkswagen right?

Is this a joke? Volkswagen was literally created by the nazi party.

So what does that say about the current German state, given that it's still a national champion? Not to mention airbus being an EU champion.

		I guess I don't know what "national champion" means. Do they receive different legal treatment from other similar companies? If so, that would be a worrying signal. A common feature of fascism being present doesn't mean you've definitely got fascism, but it does raise a pretty big red flag.
