Benito Mussolini’s stance was to hire to congress those who represented the needs of Italy’s industries.
This is a form of governance invented only slightly before Mussolini’s time by a fellow Italian, a professor named Giovanni Gentile(sp?).
It worked….well..sorta…Fascism as it was called did indeed help Italy’s industries, especially those industries associated with her Military Industrial Complex.
By implementing this new form of government that catered directly to Italy’s major industries, Mussolini helped create jobs for his countrymen who were still suffering from the ravages of the worldwide Great Depression.
Mussolini was wildly popular among his countrymen for that bit but…
History shows us how in the end why Fascism is a horrible form of self governance…because it is not self governance.
In the end, is it not better to have a government Of By and For it’s citizenry instead of one Of By and For it’s highest bidders?
Some would argue that a country’s means of production should never be in the hands of it’s citizenry.
I beg to differ. I believe that in a true democracy, the citizenry should in all cases be the final arbitor over it’s own fate.
If that means cracking the whip over an industry that is causing that citizenry harm then so be it!
Currently our citizenry still (barely) has the ability to exercise control over our own fate.
Speaker Pelosi, Hillary, DCCC, the Military Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, Wall Street and etc. think otherwise.
It seems fairly straight forward to me: the citizenry comes together as a unit to reestablish it’s control over it’s government….or it does not.
Just my opinion
