Comments by "Jim Taylor" (@jimtaylor294) on "Was there a Civil War in Italy 1943-45? TIK Q&A" video.
Fascism = the italian word for Authoritarianism. Thus Socialism can also be Fascist, and mathematically is more likely to be, as right of center regimes are seldom authoritarian, and socialists hate competition :P . Lefties will probably always try to pass off blame for National-Socialism onto their opposition, because "wasn't real socialism!" is a 2nd nature cliche thereof already.

^ Rejecting a correction of an incorrect correction... unsurprised.

^ Your intent was obvious, but as stated afore [and if you disagree then that's fine] I reject the notion [though it's more of an unsubstantiated opinion] that the lack of "ism" denotes an entirely different connotation &/or ideology. (partially as socialists use the term "social" too, most commonly in 'Social Democrat')

Then we'll have to differ, albeit partially, as - like with religion - political schisms on ideological grounds happen all the time on the left, making most of the terminology fluctuous in application & meaning.

To the NSDAP; the Socialism was about the Race, more than banks or factories. That's why National Socialism - not a term invented by the NSDAP but most commonly used therefore - is also known as Racial Socialism. Either way: National Socialism had more in common with Stalin's "Socialism in one nation", than with the [classical] Liberalism both the NSDAP & Soviets - plus Italian Fascism - loathed and publically asserted themselves as the opposite of.

^ Ah belittlement & name calling; the first resort of those without an argument to begin with.

Och; and for the only Free Market Capitalist dictatorship in history; look to Pinochet'ian Chile. All the rest [of Authoritarian regimes] I think you'll find are between mild socialism and hard communism in terms of actual economic & industrial policy.

^ Assuming a random youtube commenter is a "professional historian" XD.

^ Says the one proving my statement correct by doubling down XD.

Heads of State > Heads of Government. Mussolini was ultimately only the latter, albeit with a fancy title. As for authority... depends whom the Army sides with really. (as force is the supreme authority, from which all others are derived)

^ Yes you are a clown; for you're literally denying demonstrable reality XD. Hitler was a National-Socialist. He privatized nothing, but nationalized a lot, with the gleeful aid of a German civil service that had exploded in size under the NSDAP's rule.

^ As cliche a rebuke as it is dishonest, denialist and factually bereft XD. "Democratic" doesn't carry the same meaning in Communist lexicon as in actually Democratic societies; rather like how Central Banks actively use the word "Inflation" inaccurately. And bringing Fascist Italy into it is meaningless; as the NSDAP & Italian Fascism had little in common. Mussolini was left of center though, as was his regime; so good job failing at making a point twice over there XD. The Reality: • Just like the USSR Nazi-Germany attempted economic autarky; even less successfully as the Germans had no oil. • Just like Stalin's "Communism in one nation; the NSDAP was a non-internationalist, totalitarian socialism; with the emphasis upon Race instead of Class." • The NSDAP persecuted all other political groups after attaining power. "Nothing above The State; Nothing outside the state." - Hitler The notion that Socialism is one big happy family that doesn't infight is comically absurd; with the reality being an ever schism'ing gaggle of sects, eager to sideline or otherwise eliminate their rivals. Just like Monothiest Religion really. • To the NSDAP the Race was the prime focus of Nationalization; as Hitler himself repeatedly stated. That said whilst nationalizing banks & factories ideologically took a back seat to the populace itself; it still happened. All businesses which weren't officially state owned had to submit to perpetual state oversight and follow the german civil service's draconian resource allocation rules. Private Property was [under the NSDAP] only so for as long as They permitted you to have it. If anyone from a small town baker to a leading industrialist was deemed to be publically stating / acting against the state; everything would be taken (stolen) from them. • As mentioned afore the German Civil Service exploded in size under the NSDAP; whilst in a Capitalist state it would have shrunk. • Alongwith the former: German government spending also exploded under the NSDAP. From the various Make Work Schemes to the vast state institution that was the KDF. The NSDAP were entirely left of center when it came to taxation, and the spending thereof. Then again you're in-denial on the whole topic; so all this demonstrable fact upon the NSDAP is clearly over your shampoo deprived head XD.

^ More lying XD. Case in point the Reichsbahn; a wholly state owned asset, which remained so under the NSDAP. Also: No. As stated afore; to be of any other political group than the NSDAP was verboten after they gained power. The NSDAP worshipped the state as a entity; and anyone or anything that went against the state (against them) was to be eliminated. Whether you were a Monarchist, a [Democratic] Socialist or any non-NSDAP affiliation post-NSDAP taking power; you were to change affiliation, or be at best ostracized, or at worst imprisoned / straight up murdered. Similar situation under Communism; where being outside The Party was essentially a death sentence, as was defying The Party Line or to be of a class demographic The Party didn't like.

Oh: Amusing bit of Distortionism there boyo XD. (there never was any overarching "Fascist" ideology; and none of those regimes had much in common; nor were free market capitalist XD)

Bit more Reality kiddo: Fascist just means Authoritarian in Italian :P . (basically every leftwing regime ever XD)

^×3 Lame ad homeniem, and poorly disguised at that. Cute bit of Projection too, as you're clearly a liar. #Pathetic A~and nope. Germany spent most of both world wars redefining the measure of barbarism; they got only a fraction of the karma back that they deserved.

@Karpaneen I saw the video too. My meaning was that the word itself also means Authoritarianism , partially due to its origin in a symbol of Strength through Unity. The word Dictator also comes from the Italian boot, though had an apparently non-pejorative meaning, as a Dictator was a type of crisis leader occasionally appointed in Rome.
