  1.  @KrasMazovHatesYourGuts  "(And no, Hitler's reign was not socialist)." Wrong. By definition it was. You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

  2. They got rid of the Marxists, but Fascists themselves were also socialists. Fascism cared about unity in a strong central government with society being brought together by syndicalist organizations obedient to the State.

  3.  @DNS劫持  "capitalistic corporatism" Wrong. Fascism had nothing to do with Capitalism whatsoever. As a socialist ideology it strictly opposed it, and Corporatism ("corporativismo" in Italian) was a socialist economic model, and one of the cornerstone principles in Mussolini's fascism, which 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.
