"In actual fact, it is the State, i.e. the taxpayer, who has become responsible to private enterprise. In Fascist Italy the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise. As long as business was good, profit remained to private initiative. When the depression came, the Government added the loss to the tax-payer's burden. Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social."--Under the Axe of Fascism, by Gaetano Salvemini, p. 416 (1936).
"In December 1932 a Fascist financial expert, Signor Mazuchelli, estimated that more than 8.5 billion lire had been paid out by the Government from 1923 to 1932 in order to help depressed industries (Rivista Bancaria, December 15th, 1932, p.1,007). From December 1932 to 1935 the outlay must have doubled."We'll wait.--Under the Axe of Fascism, by Gaetano Salvemini (1936).
Well Travis and Chris, in between reading about UFOs, why don't you enlighten the class and explain what Mr. Salvemi was talking about in 1936:
He was talking about Fascist Italy.
You claimed "Corporatism=Collectivism=Communism". Would you kindly explain how you get from historical information on Fascist Italy to your conclusion?
(It might be illuminating if you look up the definitions of "Fascism" and "Communism" as a start. Then, figure out whether it was the governments controlling companies or the other way 'round.)
Here's a hint: Corporations don't typically ask for greater government regulation.
