::[EC] Yes, Italian Fascism was economic because it was essentially a "reformist" approach to fixing socialism from the failures of Marxism, aimed ultimately at creating a successful utopian paradise that would retain a socialist structure, even if compromises were to be made. However, its early stages were a left-wing nationalist labor union movement (anarcho-syndicalism) that appealed to populist sentiments—the global "fascism" of nowadays, by contrast, is a blatantly top-down, elitist organization which places no central emphasis on working-class labor unionism.
::Even if definitive perceptions change as a result of war, the characteristics of the original ideological strain should be kept in mind, especially since misuse of the word "fascism" as a generic insult is a longstanding tactic of "orthodox" socialists and neo-Marxists. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Thursday, 16:45, September 7, 2023 (EDT)
