No he was mandated by the masses to do something/anything to help. He admired political/economic systems that seems to work when capitalism wasn't.There is no such thing as free market capitalism. Example one. I can't grow hemp even though it is not illegal. Each state gives out licenses to grow a legal weed, yet in my state only two licenses are given. Govt. controlled monopoly is what we have here...TN Harley would agree with you there.
There are all these self-proclaimed "experts" here on fascism that have obviously never actually read the tenets of fascism as written by the original fascists.

Therefore Fascism is opposed to Socialism, which confines the movement of history within the class struggle and ignores the unity of classes established in one economic and moral reality in the State; and analogously it is opposed to class syndicalism. . . .
nuff said.
Fascism entails government control of every facet of society including the elimination of a free-market economy in favor of an economy managed by government. The modern American right is absolutely and undeniably the biggest supporter of free-market capitalism. The President of the U.S. is the biggest capitalist to ever occupy the White House.
It's the modern left that wants the government to control the nation's healthcare, education and guarantee a "living wage". It's the modern left that despises capitalism.
Yes, fascism is an ideology of the left.
There's a reason FDR so admired Benito Mussolini and his fascist ideals. Was FDR "right wing" too?
