An incorrect perspective. Fascism is sacrificing one set of the ownership class for another, diverting populism directed against a hostile liberal economic system to only part of that class while giving more power to the rest of it. Fascism is characterized by privatization, not central planning, with a subset of the bourgeoisie gaining vast new powers in comparison. You could even ask Mussolini himself about this in his comments about how fascism should more correctly be called corporatism - and see his transition from opportunistic socialist to opportunistic fascist serving key bourgeois individuals and their interests.

I can critically examine them and always have been able to. Should I interpret this to actually mean, "until you change your opinions on them"? I figured there would be an accompanying pushback about them, but I don't see one.
> Theres also a healthy amount of revisionist historical thinking that seeks to whitewash the terrible conditions created by communist countries.
Again, this seems to just be, "I disagree". A fruitful conversation would be one where we can have a discussion and real exchange, not vague dismissiveness.

Historical and economic analyses are rarely simple matters of fact and this is a subject where dealing with other perspectives is a necessity. None of what we're discussing is at the level of simple facts, they are interpretations depending on a large set of suppositions and historical knowledge.
But I welcome a discussion.
