- robertlagrant 2y agoWhy is that fascism and not communism? It's just general authoritarianism.
- klabb3 2y agoI don’t have an answer to this, I’m just here to say that Italian fascist economic policy was explicitly corporatist, promoting big, sector-wide industry conglomerates, criminalizing strikes etc. It's no coincidence that large business moguls (today in the form of corporations) have strong preference towards fascist leaning politics.
- robertlagrant 2y agoHang on - corporations and corporatist are opposite. Corporatism was industry groups negotiating en masse with the state that was running things. You're confusing a big-state authoritarian word "corporatist" with the thing that's the opposite of big state - private citizens forming corporations.
