yeah, at least to benito mussolini

2019-08-15 19:09:30 UTC  

In practice yes. Italy was more distributist than Germany though.

2019-08-15 19:10:04 UTC  

But the left-wing of the NSDAP, before it got HITLER'd was very anti-capitalist and members like Feder and the Strasser brothers had very different ideas on corporatism and such.

2019-08-15 19:10:19 UTC  

At least Feder got retired and died teaching at a university.

2019-08-15 19:10:29 UTC  

Dude was old as fuck though.

2019-08-15 19:10:44 UTC  

Yeah, Hitler's Third Reich end up quite free markety

"Why nationalize businesses when you can nationalize people?" - Hitler.

At it's peak, 75% of fascist Italy's GDP was state owned. #2 in the world behind the USSR, which was at 100%.

2019-08-15 19:11:40 UTC  

Mussolini's views on economy sounded more reasonable, but he ended up seriously fucking up Italy's economy

2019-08-15 19:11:48 UTC  

Well I'd say that was due to the war.

2019-08-15 19:11:48 UTC  

So I guess it's not the way to go

2019-08-15 19:12:11 UTC  

If Mussolini had've stayed out of it he could've just stayed home and exploited the fuck out of Libya and Somalia.

2019-08-15 19:12:24 UTC  

Er, Ethiopia.

2019-08-15 19:12:31 UTC  

>Ethiopia

>implying he would manage to keep it

2019-08-15 19:12:45 UTC  

debating weather or not to take the 216 question version

2019-08-15 19:13:06 UTC  

Even without the war Italy would eventually lose to Ethiopian partisans

2019-08-15 19:13:11 UTC  

People were fascinated by Mussolini before the war though. Churchill was an advocate for Mussolini and even American citizens and policy makers were sizing up the Italian economic model.

2019-08-15 19:13:19 UTC  

216 version

Now

2019-08-15 19:13:32 UTC  

It wasn't quite as extreme as the USSR, so it sat far better with westerners.

2019-08-15 19:13:51 UTC  

waow

2019-08-15 19:13:52 UTC  

Wow, that's probably worse than bacon's results

2019-08-15 19:13:58 UTC  

Absolutely Machiavellian.

2019-08-15 19:13:58 UTC
