With or without war, fascism dictates to private business. Why are you unable to accept this truth?
The idea that Fascism is a leftist idea was created by a crackpot in the late 60s to try and cover up some nasty political right wing ideas. They had to make it look like the left was the nasty ones to win elections. After almost a decade of not having any real power, the right was desperate. You are just using a crackpots definition not the historic definition. There were wars fought because Fascism and Socialism were direct opposites. And in Fascism, Fascism REQUIRES that the Corporate Elites support the government. In Socialism, the Government controls the Corporations or outright takes them over. Do a little studyiing of history. Try looking at Spanish History from the 30s and why Franco came to power. A mind is a terrible thing to waste and you are wasting yours.
Modern leftist ideology is in lockstep with fascism. The claim that it's "right-wing" is absurd.
You have been so gaslighted it's scary.
Sad.
When we look at the difference between Mussolini and Franco we see some similarities and some stark differences. Remember, Mussolini invented Fascism with his 1923 writings. Franco didn't even invent it, he was brought into it in the early 30s.
Franco was more or less drafted into Fascism. There was a huge conflict in Spain at the time. The Socialists, supported by Stalin, were in charge of Spain at the time. But it was a budding Socialist Government that was yet to become what the USSR had already become under Stalin. But many predicted it was coming. The Corporate Elites and many of the Organized Religions were already feeling the pressures. The Socialists picked certain religions to support and hurt the others. In USSR, it was seen that MOST religions were harmed including the big one that was supported by the Spanish Socialists, the Roman Catholic Church. The Corporate Elites saw the handwriting on the wall as well where they would lose much of their identity.
Franco was a great WWI and Middle Eastern Spanish General who was in self exile at the time. He was not Political in any way. But the Fascists convinced him to head their cause. He created an army from the Spanish Army that was occupying much of the Middle East and Northern Africa and they snuck it into Spain where they began the Civil war. The problem was, Franco's forces controlled all the smaller towns and cities as well as the rural areas but the Socialists still controlled the large cities like Madrid. it became a stalemate. italy and Germany offered to supply more modern war machines to break that stalemate because they were the only other two Fascist states and wanted Franco to win. This broke the stalemate. Franco's forces went on to win. One of the reasons Spain sat out WWII was the fact that Franco WAS a great General and despised war and the Spanish had just went through a really nasty civil war. Oh, don't get me wrong, Franco was no sweetheart by any stretch of the imagination. Well past his death in 1974, his Gendarmes were notorious. But Spain was a model country compared to most of Europe at the time. And it was stable in both economic and social.
Mussolini may have invented Fascism but his very nature meant that he could never obtain it. Unlike Franco who was thrust into the position of power, Mussolini sought it, cherished it and devoured it. And so did Hitler. Both Hitler and Mussolini started out as Fascists but soon became Dictators after using Fascism to gain that power. Fascism is an extreme like it's counterpart, socialism. Both in their purest form can be a good thing. Most countries borrow heavily from both to make a working model. The US is no exception. But both out of control by someone that seeks power, they can be taken to a dictatorship too easily. I see people using the scale of Governments in a linear line but in reality, it's a circle with Fascism and Socialism just one stop away from Dictatorship. One coming from the right and the other coming from the left. With the wrong leader, both can lead to the same outcome.
Franco kept the ideals of Fascism pure and Spain was the ONLY Fascist country in NATO
EVER. So does Fascism mean that the Government will take over and control the Corporate Elites? No, those Corporate Elites kept Franco in Power and he, in turn, kept them in power.
