Nazism was not fascism. Fascism was the term created to describe Mussolini gov. So once again, please learn the history of the term. The common trait they all share is Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism.

Here is just one accomplished historian who disagrees with you. Roderick Stackelberg, a German immigrant, accomplished Nazi historian and professor, born in Munich on 1935, says very clearly in the book Hitler's Germany

Nazism is a radical variant of Fascism.

He goes on to explain Germany's move to radical Fascism and how it differed from the Italian form of Fascism at the time but explains they were both forms of Fascism. He does argue that Fascists hate Communists, but the two do have some very similar some social/economic ideals.

Can you at least agree that corporations/great wealth OWNING the Gov is just as bad as the Gov owning the means of production?

Yes.

Yes.

Germany was similar to fascist Italy but not the same. The definition of fascism has been purposely obfuscated in the last 30 sum years by people who have an agenda. The fact of the matter is the person who coined the term Mussolini himself left us with the definition as the merger of corporation and state. In the end it meant that industry controlled all of the gov at state, local and federal level.

When we deregulate corporations and wallstreet the end result always is that there is no laws to stop them from buying the gov. So when someone tells me that they believe in free markets and deregulation, I always look at who and how they are deregulating. Because it is ALWAYS deregulation in ways that gives corporations more power to own our gov or create a market condition that favors cartel behavior.

Talk about a hijacked thread !!!!!

Please tell me how it was hijacked because the original misuse of the term Fascism came right from the opening post.
