The thing is these labels mean nothing to the puppeteers. They are just tools to achieve their goals and they change from one to another as the situation dictates.

What they really wish to achieve is a neo-feudal fascist state where the lines are blurred between government and corporate to the point they are indistiguishable and the lords rule the serfs with an iron fist akin to Monarchy. They rule through the Divine Right of their gods and the people are merely chattel to exploit. To them were are really sheep and cattle as Q has told us.
