The Nazis were also white. Does that mean all white people are Nazis? Of course not. You're trying to draw conclusions based on repeating stupid shit you've heard online without context. You're a talking point personified.

A lot of liberals have mental health issues, does that mean all liberals have severe mental health issues? Probably.
But yeah, the nazis were socialist. As were the Italians. The North Koreans are something completely different.
But you rarely ever hear of fascists without socialist being tossed in, don’t ya?

Mussolini's doctrine on fascism defines fascism as his implementation of socialism.

You have to read the whole section and not pick one line from it. He rejects groups that divide individuals into class orgs and function independent of the state, but if those groups and their interests under state control, its all good.
>No individuals or groups (political parties, cultural associations, economic unions, social classes) outside the State. Fascism is therefore opposed to Socialism to which unity within the State (which amalgamates classes into a single economic and ethical reality) is unknown, and which sees in history nothing but the class struggle. Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon. But when brought within the orbit of the State, Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonized in the unity of the State.

"you have to read the whole section" .....goes on to copy and past the whole section that reaffirms my original statement. lol.
Nothing in that statement says its his implementation of socialism. The whole document is him distancing fascism from socialism and aligning itself as the polar opposite. Fascism is the response to socialism, they weren't socialists lol

The whole document defines a socialist system where the state controls all resources, including labor, and the state is put above the individual.
Edit 'cause comments are locked:
He doesn't reject socialism, he rejects groups functioning outside of state, or not in sync with the state
Read this -> Fascism is therefore opposed to Socialism to which unity within the State (which amalgamates classes into a single economic and ethical reality) is unknown,
As this-> > Fascism is therefore opposed to Socialism to WHICH unity within the State is unknown and WHICH sees in history nothing but the class struggle >The State amalgamates classes into a single economic and ethical reality
Then he says it a little more clearly for trade groups > Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon.
The state is an equalizer, there are no classes under fascism, so if a group is divisive on a class basis, its not in line with fascism. if its not in sync with the state, its rejected.
But these groups are all good if they fall under the state. Their concerns are real and they will have an equal seat at the table under fascism.
>giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonized in the unity of the State
Theres a lot there, you getting it? He rejects class warfare and groups or philosophies that push it, because you know, fascism has eliminated the class divisions. When in sync with the state tho, those groups and philosophies get a seat at the table. There is no rejection of socialism, but a rejection of the basis of it as a divisive class struggle. He sets up a socialist state, where the state has control of all resources(including labor), but its totally not socialism because there is no class struggle or conflict under fascism as that problem was solved.

so to clarify, fascism rejected groups outside of state control, and all of the practices of socialism. And the doctrine of fascism says that is opposed to socialism. But fascism is socialism..... reading comprehension is real hard huh?
