    I dont think sexism fits, racism/race supremacy does. Emphasis on corporations also don’t fit, wouldnt government taking control of them fit more?

      Those two aren’t mutually exclusive, but as long as the corpos kowtow to the government, they often let their leadership “stay in control” despite the government ultimately calling the shots still.

      Umberto Eco, who grew up in fascist Italy and has written extensively on the characteristics of fascism, disagrees with you about the sexism.

      Sexism certainly does. Telling women that their place is in the kitchen and making/raising babies is sexist.

      Not at all but its often a trope put out by right wingers. So, I can understand the confusion.

      Fascism, at its heart, is corporatism fully realised. Fascism is also just capitalism when you try to say no. Of course, the nazis pretend that X company is nationalised but its profits are all given away to cronies, be it 1930s Germany and italy or 2020s Russia.

      Left wing ideology is the community, as a whole, must own both the government and the means of production. Right wing ideology is the opposite of that where the private owns the government and the community as a whole, as if you were wages slaves or cattle.

      no, IDK why so many think the government controls corporations under fascism.

      under fascism, historically, business owners largely just became part of the ruling class and helped dictate policy in their favor. (sounds familiar doesn’t it)

      it’s less that the government took control of the business and more that the businesses were let into the government. not to be controlled, but to control and benefit. sure, you had to fall in line with the party, as all people did, but it was more of a power grab by the rich than a dictator controlling them. falling in line just meant going on stage to publicly declare support for the party and condemnation for their enemies. remember, fascism is all about showing off and being the big macho man. it’s about looking the party more than feeling and being it.

      if the government took over businesses under fascism German and Italian companies would be very very different today. as it stands, they either benefitted or got burned down.
