Let me add another point, Dr. Rich, though it is a combination of the points you already made in this excellent article.

The less we organize our governmental powers, the more those powers will go to those who already have their power and want to keep them.

The USA, the UK, and Italy, these are examples where governmental officials sitting on their hands is good for big business (and perhaps small business, too), but it is not good for the common person.

The top gets heavier and heavier (more and more powerful), while the ineffective governments frustrates everyone else to express their political powers. The bottom ends up getting poorer/having to work harder for less.

Ineffective government is not per se fascist, but it does help the political elite become more powerful (more people demanding the help of those in the seats) while the game gets enforced that handing out the cornucopia of wealth to friends and friends alone benefits those in power. As such, it is fascist in that it puts the rule of the elite in place where the rule of the land should have been the priority.
