> "It’s worth remembering that the founders of fascism were mainly Leninists like Mussolini with a sprinkling of anarcho-syndicalists (George Sorel being the best known of those). Actual fascism retained the founders’ doctrinal hostility to what modern leftists would call “corporate power”, never renouncing its state-socialist roots and being (in fact) hostile to all centers of power other than the state itself."

> "The modern idea that German and Italian fascism were conservative or pro-business ideologies is essentially a fantasy constructed by pro-Soviet propagandists during and after World War II. In fact, classical fascism never wandered very far from its left-wing origins; corporatism can be seen as an elaboration of the theoretical role of worker’s soviets in Leninist theory."

> "Perhaps his most illuminating pages are devoted to the careers of Mussolini and of Engels. We tend to think of fascism as the antithesis of socialism or Marxism. But as Muravchik reminds us, there are in fact deep continuities between them. Mussolini began as a disciple of Lenin and did not so much repudiate Marxism-Leninism as become a self-declared “heretic.” Thus one of Mussolini’s groups of thugs called itself the Cheka, after Lenin’s secret police. As Muravchik observes, “However fierce they grew in their antipathy to communism, the fascists never ceased mimicking it, implicitly underscoring their claim to be the true or superior heirs to the same legacy.” (Something similar can be said of Hitler, whose party, after all, was called National Socialism. It is true that Hitler was adamantly anti-Communist; at the same time, he acknowledged that he had “learned a great deal from Marxism.”)"

> "citing over 114 sources from historians and political scientists, who basically concluded that Mussolini's Fascism was either a heretical revision, variety, or consequence of Marxism, demonstrating that Mussolini had indeed thought of himself and his movement as left-wing social revolutionaries who opposed classical liberalism, individualism, free-market capitalism, religion, monarchies, and limited government"

> "Prior to his fascist years, Mussolini repeatedly demonstrated his appetite for hardcore socialism, verifying that Italian Fascism was actually just one of many variant shades of Marxist-influenced socialism, which snuggled up to the political left. Moreover, Mussolini's dedication to his socialist comrades was such that he worked hard to make fascist Italy the first nation in the West to officially recognize the Soviet Union, in 1924. Does this sound like the mindset of an anti-communist?"

> "In 1934, Mussolini boasted in a major speech that he had nationalized three-fourths of the Italian economy. Who but a Marxist or communist sympathizer would boast about heavily socializing his nation's economy?"

> "Isn't the true measure of a dedicated socialist his following Karl Marx's wishes to have the means of production owned by the government?"

"sought to marry elements of both the radical left and radical right in order to form a Third Position between the Nazi Party and Communist Party of Germany"

These schizos change one thing on the party program and declare a whole new ideology, while sustaining most of the same points.

Hitler himself explains that the only difference between his worldview and Marxism is that his is racial.

So what he's saying is that he's a racist Marxist?

Some juicy quotes in there.

"What Hitler, therefore, primarily admired in Stalin was his revolutionary consistency in the elimination of the former élites. Hitler’s admiration for Stalin was not only an expression of the respect he felt for him personally; his relationship with Stalin also reflected his ambivalent position on Marxism/Communism, which was always characterized by simultaneous fear and admiration. Hitler admired Stalin’s revolutionary consistency above all, but exactly this consistency, which went far further than his own, also made him afraid, and made Bolshevism appear as the only serious opponent."

From: Peter Longerich's Goebbels: A Biography

"Talking to Ribbentrop, just back from Moscow, on September 30, Goebbels criticized what he felt to be Ribbentrop’s all-too-positive assessment of the Soviet Union, something he carefully avoided doing with Hitler, “AS THOUGH BOLSHEVISM WAS JUST A KIND OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM.” On October 3, he met Hitler again: “The Führer still believes he will manage to restore peace. I have very strong doubts right now; the enemy governments are not yet exhausted enough.”
