@terryenglish well yeah Mussolini came up with Fascism because he grew dissatisfied with the Marxist movements (he also got kicked from them for trying to be pro-war during WW1 to bring about the economic conditions of misery that might make a revolutions possible, similar to what Lenin thought "that the worse things are the better they are" for the conditions of a revolution, I'm paraphrasing him there)

@terryenglish to sum up the economic policies of Fascism think of a mixed economy, so like the Social Democrats but of course without Democracy although there were unions

take a look at this
>A former school teacher, Mussolini’s spending on the public sector, schools and infrastructure was considered extravagant. Mussolini "instituted a programme of public works hitherto unrivaled in modern Europe. Bridges, canals and roads were built, hospitals and schools, railway stations and orphanages; swamps were drained and land reclaimed, forests were planted and universities were endowed".[21] As for the scope and spending on social welfare programs, Italian fascism "compared favorably with the more advanced European nations and in some respect was more progressive".

>When New York city politician Grover Aloysius Whalen asked Mussolini about the meaning behind Italian fascism in 1939, the reply was: "It is like your New Deal!".[23]

and on some things that Lenin did
> Initially, the non-fascist trade unions and later (less forcefully) the fascist trade unions were nationalized by Mussolini's administration and placed under state ownership, conforming to Vladimir Lenin's earlier policies to eliminate independent labor unions in the Soviet Union.[29][30] Under this labor policy, Fascist Italy enacted laws to make union membership compulsory for all workers.[31]

and for good measure

>Roosevelt was also a secret admirer of Mussolini, writing to his friend John Lawrence, "I don't mind telling you in confidence, that I am keeping in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman."[42] FDR also wrote to U.S. Ambassador to Italy Breckinridge Long about Mussolini, "I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy and seeking to prevent general European trouble."[43] According to ex-Marxist[44] Lewis Feuer, FDR privately acknowledged that “what we were doing in this country were some of the things that were being done in Russia and even some of the things that were being done under Hitler in Germany. But we were doing them in an orderly way.”[45]

thus Mussolini did similar things without an unnecessary civil war and famine, some communists were executed iirc but the level of repression wasn't comparable to the famines brought by the October Revolution, I should add that Fascism as a mixed economy would indeed retain Capitalism and not work towards Socialism (just like the Social Democrats of today)

tfw Roosevelt got inspired by Mussolini's economic policies

@icameheretoawoo why wouldn't they?

@terryenglish I think so,

The cost of forgetting to mark as sensitive I tell you.
