Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.

— Benito Mussolini (you know, the fascist dictator who practically invented the term “fascism”).

For anyone who was doubting that fascism is, indeed, an extension of capitalism.

That quote is apocryphal. Nonetheless, there is this:

Thus, early in 1923, Mussolini generously promised that ‘the Government will accord full freedom to private enterprise and will abandon all intervention in private economy.’¹

If you think that he was bullshitting, look up Leonarda Cianciulli.
