Historians and other scholars disagree on the question of whether a specifically fascist type of economic policy can be said to exist. David Baker argues that there is an identifiable economic system in fascism that is distinct from those advocated by other ideologies, comprising essential characteristics that fascist nations shared.[1] Payne, Paxton, Sternhell et al. argue that while fascist economies share some similarities, there is no distinctive form of fascist economic organization.[2][3][4] Gerald Feldman and Timothy Mason argue that fascism is distinguished by an absence of coherent economic ideology and an absence of serious economic thinking. They state that the decisions taken by fascist leaders cannot be explained within a logical economic framework.[5]

Fascist movements tended to not have any fixed economic principles other than a general desire that the economy should help build a strong nation.[6] As such, scholars argue that fascists had no economic ideology, but they did follow popular opinion, the interests of their donors and the necessities of World War II. In general, fascist governments exercised control over private property but they did not nationalize it.[7] Scholars also noted that big business developed an increasingly close partnership with the Italian Fascist and German fascist governments. Business leaders supported the government's political and military goals. In exchange, the government pursued economic policies that maximized the profits of its business allies.[8]

Fascism had a complex relationship with capitalism, both supporting and opposing different aspects of it at different times and in different countries. In general, fascists held an instrumental view of capitalism, regarding it as a tool that may be useful or not, depending on circumstances.[9][10] Fascists aimed to promote what they considered the national interests of their countries; they supported the right to own private property and the profit motive because they believed that they were beneficial to the economic development of a nation,[11] but they commonly sought to eliminate the autonomy of large-scale capitalism from the state.[12] However, while other Western capitalist countries strove for increased state ownership of industry during the same period, Nazi Germany transferred public ownership into the private sector and handed over some public services to private organizations, mostly affiliated with the Nazi Party.[13] According to historian Richard Overy, the Nazi war economy was a mixed economy that combined free markets with central planning and described the economy as being somewhere in between the command economy of the Soviet Union and the capitalist system of the United States.[14] Others have described Nazi Germany as being corporatist, authoritarian capitalist, or totalitarian capitalist.[13][15][16][17] Fascist Italy has been described as corporatist.[18][19][20]

 

Sounds like a short path between socialism and fascism, which is exactly the case.

 

Oh I know he claims to have seen suspicious behavior and reported it. But he didn't figure out the whole plot like straight ahead claims. THAT is what I was commenting on. No one would have ever thought planes would be used the way they were.

Oh look, another person making incorrect ASSumptions.

 

Oh. I wasn't supposed to assume that from "step away from the bong".

Maybe the FBI were too busy looking for imaginary Russians (those not on their payroll, anyway).

 

No

 

Then you should do something other than offer an insult if you don't want to be misunderstood.

 

Squeaky liberal wheel gets the grease as usual…

 

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that if the same guy happened to be a Progressive, you'd have no problem with him.

How can it be that disturbing to have your precious Establishment belittled?

 

Who is it you think I have a problem with?

 

All sadly true.

 

I don't think it's a trick, in their case. The majority genuinely can't see their own lust for control.

 

Less history and more now, but thanks.

 

YOUR words were that the LEFT would seize assets.

If you were discussing the deep past (for who knows what reason, since we're here in today), or have since changed your mind, please say so.

 

Some of these cats actually think libertarians are the big threat. LOL.

 

in common parlance, when a person of trump's stature plays an active role in an insurrection or a seditious conspiracy it is fair to say he owns the outcome.

wilson was wrong about segregation, but was correct about 14 points and the league of nations.

the "progressive darling" of the "progressive era" was not wilson. care to guess who the progressive candidate was in 1912 (the year of wilson's election.)?

 

If you work for people who can't tolerate employees voting differently to themselves, you need to find employment amongst grown ups. ASAP.

 

And this guy says he taught political history lol.

 

I've no doubt he knows a ton about the past, but none of it's relevant today. Utterly different conditions. The Left have become the controlling conservatives, just for starters. I'll wager no one (not even a history nerd) saw that coming.

 

Or you could just stop making incorrect ASSumptions

 

Those far right anti-government types love dictators though lol

 

Good one.

 

No, the real problem is James Woods is a jerk. Jerks eventually get fired or avoided no matter how talented they are. He's has run ins with cast members having nothing to do with politics. If he chooses not to see reality that's his choice and a popular one among the MAGA crowd. Moreover, who cares? There are plenty of talented, more than James Woods, non-jerks so why hire a lessor talented jerk? No need.

 

- What a bunch of lies.

Facts:

1. When the Democrats were unsuccessful in their efforts to block Republican legislative efforts to help African Americans they founded the Ku Klux Klan. In 1872, the Democrats admitted forming the organization as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party in the South. As recently as 2010 the Senate’s president pro temp was former KKK Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd — the Democratic Senator from West Virginia.

2. In 1865, 100% of Republicans voted to free the slaves by passing the 13th Amendment while 77% of Democrats voted against the measure. Three years later 100% of Republicans voted to give African Americans the same civil rights as whites through the passage of the 14th Amendment while 100% of Democrats voted against the measure. Two years later 100% of Republicans voted to guarantee African-Americans the right to vote by passing the 15th Amendment, again every single Democrat voted against the amendment. These key legislative victories form the basis of the Republican Party’s legacy of freedom and justice for all. Every Republican, from Lincoln to Reagan, can be proud of this legacy.

3. The Republican Party was built on a foundation of states’ rights, human rights, small government, and a strong national defense. We support the rule of law, the constitution and equal opportunities for all. We’ve never worn hoods or lynched our political foes. Racism is the ugly past of the Democratic Party

Same then as it is now because Zebras don't change their stripes. The Democrats have been attempting to distance themselves from their past and make lies and spread disinformation but it always comes full circle. The left wing violent ANTIFA crowd of today and racist KKK are essentially the same organizations that are designed to destroy the lives and property of decent and law abiding citizens. They are nothing more than fascist organizations of the Democrats.

 

Do they? I've yet to meet a libertarian who does ;p

 

Well there you go then. It's about that, not his politics.
