It's for lack of a better term, Corporatist Statism. Which is an evolved, postindustrial form of 1930's fascism-nazism adapted to the institutions and societies of the parliamentary regimes that won WW2.
Fascism and nazism in turn were evolutionary steps of the older marxist socialist communism, adapted to the specific context of industrial(izing), wannabe imperial Western European countries.
The difference between let's call it classical Soviet communism and classical Western fascism is that the first believe that in order to achieve the political and ideological goals set by the Party, they must centrally plan AND MANAGE through ownership the means of production.
The latter, on the other hand, think that the political goals of the Party are better achieved by letting economic actors formally own and manage the means of production in a more decentralized manner, by "guiding" or "directing" them through legislation, and intervention where needed.
If both cases the final game is the same: total control of the economy by the State, as the best way to force ideological change upon society.
If you break it down like this, you can easily see that our current system in the West (and largely now in China) is a direct descendant of fascism, rather than soviet communism, even if both soviet communism and fascism are descendants of Marxist socialism in the end.

And what, exactly, is that metaphorical thorn for you?
“It's madness
to hate all roses
because you got scratched with one thorn,
to give up all dreams
because one of them didn't come true,
to give up all attempts
because one of them failed.
It's folly to condemn all your friends
because one has betrayed you,
to no longer believe in love
just because someone was unfaithful
or didn't love you back,
to throw away all your chances to be happy
because something went wrong.
There will always be another opportunity,
another friend,
another love,
a new strength.
For every end,
there is always a new beginning.....
And now here is my secret,
a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,
The Little Prince

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother
and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary of Magdala.
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved,
he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.”
Then he said to the disciple,
“Behold, your mother.”
And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
After this, aware that everything was now finished,
in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
Jesus said, “I thirst.”
There was a vessel filled with common wine.
So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop
and put it up to his mouth.
When Jesus had taken the wine, he said,
“It is finished.”
And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.✌️💜

This is literally what they are trying to force people to agree to:
"you must grant Onfido Inc. and its affiliates (together, Onfido), the service providers listed below (Providers), and the owner of this website/app (Company)
consent to collect, capture, obtain, possess, store, use, process, disclose and re-disclose (Process) your Biometric Data (defined below) and other personal data, including sensitive personal data (Personal Data), for the purpose described below."
I did not think an organization like 2600 would even agree to do business with a company like this. 🤮

Here's your summary from Iranian President and Foreign Minister Killed In Helicopter Crash (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC-ga8n7eU8) on the Bloomberg Television channel:
**TLDR:** Iranian President and Foreign Minister killed in helicopter crash, leading to questions about succession and impact on Iran's hardline leadership.
1. The death of the Iranian President, an ultra conservative cleric and former chief justice, raises questions about the future hardline leadership of Iran.
2. The conflict in the Middle East, particularly between Iran and Israel, is not expected to see major changes in policy direction despite the leadership change in Iran.
3. The succession plan for the Iranian President involves the vice president taking over temporarily, followed by new elections that typically only allow ultraconservative candidates to stand, leading to low voter turnout.
