    Fascism does not make the promise to put free markets under state control

    It does when the politics of the situation suits it. This is how Mussolini made the trains run on time. And as I said before, the Nazis exerted state control over local businesses by taking away some businesses from Jews and giving them to loyal Aryans. State control over the economy is exerted, just not to the benefit of everyone.

        But it isn’t just moving around the capitalists. It is choosing the winners and losers. It is then giving state power to the winners and using state power to punish the losers.

        And it is doing a racism, and it may not do what the politicians say, but it is a change of the political and economic order.
