The corporatism of Mediterranean fascism was based on its predecessor movement that competed with Communism: anarchosyndicalism.

Mussolini was a syndicalist, and most of these movements looked up to socialist theorist Georges Sorel as an alternative to orthodox Marxism.

Sorel's Reflections sur la Violence

was a textbook.

The Nazism-skeptical German right wing jurist, Carl Schmitt, wrote an excellent book about the anarchosyndicalist emphasis on myth and culture versus the orthodox Marxist emphasis on "science" and "historicism."

Thank you for your contributions on this subject. As always, you know more about this subject than all the rest of us put together.

But I must ask one non-hostile question: do you see any connection between this syndicalist/fascist corporatism and the ideology of the Catholic Middle Ages or of Rerum Novarum?
