Historically, Hitler and the "National Socialist German Workers" (party), aka the "NAZI's" or in short form the "National Socialists" came to power a decade after the Italian Socialist - Benito Mussolini (who was kicked out from the Italian Socialist party) and created his "Fascist" party based upon the "partnership" of government and business he called "corporativism" now called "corporatism" in the Fascist USSA.

Hitler saw and liked what Mussolini's Fascist "corporatism" had done for the Italians. Initially it worked and overall improved the standard of living for the rank and file Italian people, so Hitler just copied Mussolini's Fascism economic model (which was hailed by the Western world as an "economic miracle.") However, the German vision of Fascism (corporativism), the NAZI's) controlled german private business' 100% and was 'private' in name only (and) the German Communists ( the ORIGINAL "ANTIFA"), called Hitler a "Fascist".

On the fascism theme, I have this meme: https://nedb.substack.com/p/fascism-vs-faucism

Benito Mussolini famously defined fascism as the product of government plus corporate tyranny.

Anthony Fauci took totalitarianism to an even more menacing extent with the addition of medical tyranny. The combination of government plus corporate plus medical tyranny might rightly be called “Faucism.”

I might add that the "American" iteration of "Fascism" now in play hasn't done jack-shit for the working middle class since O'Butthead and Biden occupied the Oval Office.
