But, apparently, making that much sense gets me downvotes.
I think you're getting a bit confused by the terms public and private. Most US tech megacorps are public companies e.g. publicly traded private enterprises. They're public companies because they're traded on the stock market, not because they receive "public funds" aka funding from the government; that's not what a company being public means. You seem to be mixing these two up. Insofar as they get money from the government, it's generally in exchange for providing services to the government (aka doing business) or as subsidies, but these aren't what make a company 'public'. Being traded on the stock exchange is what makes a company 'public'.

You should probably pump the brakes on adopting any sort of ideology before you get a firm grasp on basic terminology.
Oh, I know basic terminology.
Faschism - when big private enterptise is in service to the government and having lucrative, beneficial and unfair deals with the government or it's agencies.
Most of big tech and MIC companies in the USA have beneficiary status (multi-billion deals, tax-exemption, etc..) with the government or at least one of the alphabet soup agencies. In other words, US government learned much from the Nazies.
Strange spellings, is your spellcheck off? If your intention was to communicate your familiarity with these terms, you're failing badly.
And no, US tech companies getting paid for fulfilling lucrative contracts for the government is not what fascism is, even if there is corrupt dealing. Corruption and fascism are not interchangeable concepts. And to reiterate the point, a company being publicly traded does not mean they are receiving public funds.
And FYI, SUSE is not even an American company so your rants are completely irrelevant anyway. They have little if any connection to the US MIC.
So, most of the tech megacorps in the US. Oh, the glory of fasc...ehem, capitalism.
