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.

Hitler, Mussolini and FDR: The Secret History of a Mutual Admiration Society

We hear a lot today from progressives about how neo-Nazis support President Trump.

townhall.com

Mussolini's Fascism was embraced by Italian conservatives.

Trump told chief of staff Hitler ‘did a lot of good things’, book says

Remark shocked John Kelly, author Michael Bender reports, detailing former president’s ‘stunning disregard for history’

www.theguardian.com

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.

You may want to do more reading.

It was the Democrats who defeated Mussolini

Eisenhower and Patten were republican.

Commander in Chief was a DEMOCRAT

true, after he expanded a recession into. a great depression he was smart enough to stay hands off the military and allow the republicans to beat the leftist regimes in italy and germany

I believe Lindbergh was as well.

You know, the guy who was sympathetic to fascism and was a prominent member of the "America First Committee".

he wasn’t a sympathetic. He wanted to remain neutral but after pearl harbor supported the war and in fact took part in the pacific

his father was a republican though...

In 1933 Hitler used the Enabling Act to purge the German government of Socialists, Communists, Democrats and Jews.

Nazis also killed other Nazis.

Does that mean they were not really Nazis?

LOL.

Hitler purged the German government of Communists, Socialists, Democrats and Jews in 1933 and put them in the newly completed Dachau concentration camp.

 

[rupol2000]

In that case, Mussolini was a leftist. But these are all just the words of some journalist, and not what we heard from Mussolini himself, isn't it?

 

[rupol2000]

Fascists and Nazis hated Socialists and Communists.

No, National Socialism was center-left, and the left wing of the party was ultra-left.
Although their slogans were partly right. But the policy is exclusively left-wing. Even that part of the industry that they did not nationalize, they subordinated to the state.

leftist tyrants often get rid of any political opposition that was nothing new for the national socialist

stalin did the same thing with fellow party members

The NAZIs, or National Socialist, are Fascist

How is this known? After all, at first they fought among themselves.

 

[two_iron]

Who cares. The left in this country are filthy ******* parasites.

What difference, at this point, does it matter what you call them.... (to quote one of their satanic idols)

The Left founded this country and stands behind Truth, Justice and the American Way

 

[rupol2000]

Judging by the fact that the fascists adhered to the theory of corporatism, they were on the left side. Corporatism is close to socialism, it considers a social group to be a unit of society, therefore it rejects right-wing individualism. Apparently modern Christian Democrats should be considered close to fascism, they also adhere to this.

 

[rupol2000]

The Left founded this country and stands behind Truth, Justice and the American Way

not founded but captured and occupied.

The American way is strictly right-wing, it is most right country in the world. There is no such decentralization anywhere else

 

[jbrownson0831]

The DNC has totally embraced fascism

Dimmers invented it or course they embrace it.
