>>6929096Genuine question for fascists, like I'm not even trying to be a dick I really want to know the general consensus on this.
I've noticed a lot of fascists claim to be anti-corporations/banks yet the German and Italian elites had a fairly large influence on the rise of fascism, with their economies in recession corporations had to cut costs to maintain profits but the established labor movements were problematic for this goal. Corporations essentially used fascists to destroy the labor movement and maintain their own power in a time where they were on unstable ground. Hitler and Mussolini constantly gave handouts, subsidies, and took bribes from corporations at the detriment of their countrymen. People seriously neglect how much corporate owners flourished under fascism. Fascism was so appealing to corporations that all kinds of corporate newspapers and business owners in America were applauding how beneficial it was at maintaining society and calling for it in the US up until the war. Even those fascists that truely did commit to the corporate-skeptic politics while maintaining all other qualities of fascism i.e. Strasserists or some of the revolutionary wing of the NSDAP, were eventually executed by Hitler.
So my question is, from the perspective of modern fascists, what do you think the role of corporations are in a nation, if any at all? Looking back at fascist countries and the role corporations and banks played in them do you think they handled it correctly or did Hitler and Mussolini betray their countrymen by allowing corporations to take public funds and take advantage of common public goods? Or possibly you disagree that Hitler and Mussolini were so cooperative with corporations and think I've made a poor analysis?
