@akshaysingh4712 Oh, dear ... You're falling for that old authoritarian propaganda? How is it national socialism after Hitler murders all the socialists in his party 🤦🏼 It's literally on par with calling the Democratic People's Republic Of Korea a "democracy". Besides, if you're going to quote Mussolini, you should know that he was in favor of 'corporatism', with famous quotes like; "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini
Corporatism is a type of economic model that's been utilized by various types of ideologies, but in the broadest sense of the term it means collaboration of the various classes of society (works, bosses, govt, church, etc) to work together. It's not socialism, because it's not the dissolution of class but integrating class groups to work together, much like the bundle of sticks that the fasce represents. But due to a top-down structure of society, it wasn't so much based around 'collaboration' as state-capitalist subjugation where the fascist governments set up oligopolies and monopolies to better control supply chains and labor markets. Fascism is a type of corporatist capitalism.
Who did Hitler come for first... Yeah, the socialists;
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." - Martin Niemöller
