The use of this quote merely proves that no one -- not the leftists,
not the rightists -- has the slightest idea of what he or she is
talking about.

Both want to characterize the "other side" as "fascist" because that
is a word that has become demonized -- and, as George Orwell said,
has in common parlance lost all its original meaning and now is
simply a synonym for what one doesn't like.

Mussolini, who invented modern fascism, though it was based on a
Roman concept, was _not_ referring to corporations as we know them
in that quote.

He was referring to organized interest groups: farm workers,
industrial workers, small business owners, large business owners,
farmers, state workers, et cetera, each of which was organized as a
body ("corpore") and represented in the legislature. He was not
referring to limited liability corporations as we know them today.
The quote is very deceptive if not understood in the language of its
time.

That's not to say that the marriage of the omnipotent state with the
globalist money-men and their modern corporations is a good thing.
It isn't. We just need a better word for it.

Mussolini, for all his flaws, would have been against the usurers
(bankers) and their globalist corporations, by the way. They are
profoundly anti-nationalist and anti-culture.

Read Ezra Pound's poem _With Usura_. (

An excerpt:

"Usura slayeth the child in the womb
"It stayeth the young man's courting
"It hath brought palsey to bed, lyeth
"between the young bride and her bridegroom

" CONTRA NATURAM

"They have brought whores for Eleusis
"Corpses are set to banquet

"at behest of usura."



With all good wishes,
