Germans were Nazis, Italians were Fascists.
Semantics. I wasn’t referring to what they called their political parties. I was referring to the political system and it was the same.
They were both de facto fascists blend of state and private authoritarianism.
Fascism as a political system has existed and continue to exist in many countries. Notable examples include Italy, Germany under the National Socialists (Nazis), Spain, Croatia, and many other countries who organized a political system that incorporated a functional alliance between government and the private sector, with the private sector acting as an agent for the government in exchange for favorable treatment for those companies that do the bidding of the central government. The United States under Biden qualify under this definition. the key difference is that the American version uses the private sector to circumvent the Constitutional constraints that act against the Federal Government. Big Tech does the dirty work that the Biden Administration cannot do.
