They have apparently succeeded in poisoning the meaning of the term.

The famously “egalitarian” Nazis who thought provokingly also railed against the “Jewish capitalism” in their “egalitarian” pursuit of racial purity and a welfare state for the superior “egalitarian” Aryan volk?

Here is Mussolinis doctrine: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/14058/14058-h/14058-h.htm

“No individuals nor groups (political parties, associations, labour unions, classes) outside the State. For this reason Fascism is opposed to Socialism, which clings rigidly to class war in the historic evolution and ignores the unity of the State which moulds the classes into a single, moral and economic reality.”

Straight out of the pigs mouth. Of course, it’s still propaganda, he could have said it is socialism, and it still wouldn’t be socialism if it isn’t socialism. The same way you can call a pig a horse, or the Nazis egalitarian.

Whats a tankie btw?

Yes you are confused. Fascism is not “fundamentally a left wing ideology” because they were friendly with the Nazis. Fascism was right authoritarianism, NSDAP (Nazis) was right authoritariansim. The Nazis were not a left party. You are completely confused by the “socialist” part in the name. Which they intentionally used to confuse. The term “socialist” was used for propaganda, to attract workers, but their policies were not socialist but were right-wing nationalist, authoritarian, racist. They used “socialist” to mean state control of certain aspects, but not collective ownership, and they opposed Marxist socialism.

80 year old propaganda still confusing you. What kind of books you reading? I’m curious.

They got you! Authoritarians LOVE rebranding and confusing language, calling themself democratic people republic. Or calling themself national socialists depsite murdering the disabled! It makes no sense and they love doing it, because it confuses people like you!
