There’s a tendency today to see Benito Mussolini as a pathetic sideshow, an incompetent blusterer who went from Adolf Hitler’s idol to his lapdog. Yet in many ways, Mussolini’s notion of fascism has become increasingly dominant in much of the world, albeit in an unexpected form: in the worldview of those progressives who typically see “proto-fascism” lurking on the Right.
Mussolini, a one-time radical socialist, viewed himself as a “revolutionary” transforming society by turning the state into “the moving centre of economic life”. In Italy and, to a greater extent, Germany, fascism also brought with it, at least initially, an expanded highly populist welfare state much as we see today.
Indeed, Mussolini’s idea of an economy controlled from above, with generous benefits but dominated by large business interests, is gradually supplanting the old liberal capitalist model. In the West, for example, the “Great Reset,” introduced by the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab, proposes an expanded welfare state and an economy that transcends the market for the greater goal of serving racial and gender “equity”, as well as saving the planet.

Despite the protestations of the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Left, Progressive/Marxists and Fascists have always been "kissing cousins," borrowing ideas and inspiration from each other. Now, it's become an even more complete connection.
Fascism is a collectivist ideology despite what the PM/DSA Democrat LEFT says.
China currently practices their form of Marxist Fascism but they will never admit it.

Left has trouble connecting dots. They see no correlation between what's occurring today and history, primarily because they're cowards and dependent. As for the guys they represent, why do you think the left is intent on destroying and revising history?

Exactly.

Hitler and Mussolini and now the CCP in China have one thing in common. They came to the realization that bureaucrats cannot run corporations because that is not their expertise much like you don't go to a lawyer for a surgical operation, you go to a doctor instead

It may seem common sensical, but for Left wing loons this is an epiphany.. In fact, they can't even run government effectively when it is their expertise.

That simply makes them all extremely dangerous.

As he was embraced by most Italians at the time. But even though Mussolini restored the Italian monarchy and gave lip service to the Roman Catholic Church, he was not a conservative. He was a revolutionary "progressive."

Nor was Hitler a "conservative." His goal was to end the conservative institutions in Germany and centralize all power to the state. He even snubbed the efforts of the conservative party to join the Nazis against the Communists.

Hitler felt nothing short of disgust for the conservative military officers in Germany, the prior nobility, and he hated and oppressed the Christian church. His deputy Himmler demanded those in the elite SS to give up Christian practices, and Christian leaders were often put in concentration camps. Hitler's vision was actually a Neo-Pagan socialist Germany.

If the truth be known, Conservatives are actually the antithesis of the original fascists and their ideology. We believe in checks on government power, whether in terms of checks among branches and state vs. federal, or checks between competing parties. We also want to maintain and support non-government institutions like the church, family, and social organizations, and prevent an obstructive and intrusive government from interfering in local affairs.

We tend to inherently distrust power in the hands of any individual, group of individuals, or party. Conservatives by definition seek to further individual freedoms that fascists hate and seek to end: Freedoms like free speech, the individual right to bear arms, the individual rights of families in education, and the importance of the church.

So get your ideologies straight.
