Wrong. Not only is that antithetical to Fascism but it is also the complete opposite of it. What you are referring to is known as Corporatocracy, a completely different thing.

@thepoliticalgardner "That's a form of fascism." Wrong. That has nothing to do with Fascism whatsoever.

With all due respect, you people (activist Jason Stanley included) have no clue what Fascism means nor what it represented. Which is rather ironic, considering a well known Neo-Fascist Oswald Mosley was from your country. Please do your homework before making such videos, learn what Fascism was about, and stop using the word as a slur. For that, I highly suggest starting from the basics, such as "the Doctrine of Fascism" by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile. After that, "Fascism: An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice" by Renzo De Felice.

@thepoliticalgardner "fascism is the end point of capitalism." Wrong. The end point of Capitalism is Laissez-faire. Fascism strictly opposed both.

Those random traits have very little to do with Fascism per se. They apply to almost every authoritarian/totalitarian regime.

@thepoliticalgardner "It was Mussolini's Ghost Wrtier Giovanni Gentile who coined the phrase Fascism should be called Corporatism." Wrong. Neither Mussolini nor Gentile has said such a thing. Common misquote. Corporatism ("corporativismo" in Italian) was their socialist economic model, and one of the cornerstone principles in fascism, and had to do with the way society and the economy would be organized, with state power at the head of a system of syndicates ("corporazione") representing each major industry. Mussolini's corporatist view stressed total state power over businesses as much as over individuals, via these governing industry bodies controlled by the Fascist party, in which businesses retained the responsibilities of property, but few if any of the freedoms.

@thepoliticalgardner "Mussolini's Fascism was government departments run by corporations along with major cities." Wrong. Corporations run nothing. Everything was run by the Fascist State. Again, you are referring to Corporatocracy which is a completely different thing than Fascism. Meanwhile under Fascism, there couldn't be any single economic interests which were above the general economic interests of the State, no individual, economic initiatives which did not fall under the supervision and regulation of the State.

@thepoliticalgardner "In fact many economists like Jürgen Kuczynski who say it's basically Monopolistic Markets and Capitalism." Again, that is Corporatocracy, not Capitalism nor Fascism.

Fascism was strictly a socialist Far-Left ideology in the first place.

"Yes, Trump is a Fascist. " Nope. If anything, Trump is more or less the opposite of a Fascist, by being a capitalist "bourgeoisie".

@dazjackson1972 : None of them are Fascists.

Fascism is not a worry, anywhere. It's not a thing. Authoritarianism on the other hand, that is a problem.

@strandedstarfish : There was no Fascism in Germany. They had National Socialism.

"Look at Farage a neo fascist ... He’s a neofascist by heart! " So Farage is a socialist now?

"Aristocrats and fascists are cut from the same cloth" I highly doubt there are Aristocrats anymore, and even if there are, they all would be politicians. Fascists were cut from the same cloth as Marxists were, that is, socialism.

"Does liberalism uphold freedom of speech? No. Wrong speech is a criminal offence. " Actually it does, however Liberalism doesn't mean what you think it means. What countries have now, isn't exactly Liberalism.

@thepoliticalgardner "Neoliberalism is outsourcing of government departments for corporations to run." And this is antithetical to Fascism, where the Government controlled every single business for the "common good", i.e. for the benefit of the State. As said by Mussolini himself; “The State exists for all the people, but is also above the people, and, if necessary, against the people. It is against them whenever they attempt to place their particular interests above the general interests of the Nation. ... It is the purpose of Fascism to unify the Nation through the sovereign State, the State which is above all and can be against all, because it represents the moral continuity of the Nation. Without State there is no Nation." - Speech on August 8th, 1925.

" Fascism is not political, it's an economic model " Wrong actually. Fascism was a very specific political ideology and revolutionary socialist movement in Italy. It was Mussolini's ideology, and it used socialism as the basis for their economy, and their specific model for it was known as Corporatism.

"Fascism is simply an amalgamation of state and the private sector and has nothing to do with the leadership structure. " Technically the State takes over the private sector. There is no "amalgamation" of any kind, only subordination.

"A fascist economic model is collectivism where the state controls the means of production via a centrally planned economy (socialism) and it's modern day equivalent would be stakeholder capitalism. " Otherwise correct, but it wasn't even close to Stakeholder Capitalism or Capitalism of any kind. Under Corporatism ("corporativismo" in Italian), the society and the economy was organized, with state power at the head of a system of syndicates ("corporazione") representing each major industry. Mussolini's corporatist view stressed total state power over businesses as much as over individuals, via these governing industry bodies controlled by the Fascist party, in which businesses retained the responsibilities of property, but few if any of the freedoms.

Also have to note, that Fascism had nothing to do with Germany. They had National Socialism, which was a completely different political ideology.

Are you saying that Farage is a socialist now?
1
Actually Mussolini has never said such a thing. Common misquote. There was no such merger, there was only State power.
1
No. Fascism was rather anti-religious and anti-clerical ideology. If you want to put it simply, fascism was a cult of Statism and the Roman Empire.

@musiqtee "Fascism has indeed existed on both sides of the typical left-right spectrum. " No, it hasn't. Fascism was a totalitarian Far-Left, socialist 3rd position ideology. Nothing to do with Right wing of any kind.

That is not how Capitalism works though.
