>>510513182 (OP)a politically syncretic ideology that depending on who you ask is far right, far left, or centristically both and/or neither at once but emerged from broad dissatisfaction with conventional reactionary parties as well as dire fear of communism and a hatred of do-nothing parliamentarian unipartyism, and can be boiled down in Mussolini's own words to the merger of state and corporate power (in which the state is the big spoon, unlike the modern inverse fascism most of the world now practices) to effect ultranationalist aims, class cooperation, expropriation of parasitic foreign & internally intransigent elements and to a lesser degree the overall leveling of wealth, that final plank ending up lesser in practice mostly due to compromises made with reactionary conservatives in order to enter power which would see the post Marxian fascist-syndicalists in Italy sidelined and many of the beefsteak social nationalists of the NSDAP killed for putsch plans that might have been largely fictional
in both cases this was to satisfy incompetent royalists who would go on to actively scheme against and constantly betray the regimes that ought to have purged them rather than their own loyalists, noisy and commie-ish though they may be. Japan didn't get so far as this because their young officer (proto) fascists were also fanatical monarchists, but the Emperor didn't want to rock the boat and killed them a time or two for mutineering in an attempt to institute a totalitarian regime to restore his own absolutist power, with the closest thing to a totalitarian party reaching power being a big tent organization that simply absorbed all the existing parties under emergency powers in what remained technically a continuing parliamentary system that was not quite as suspended as in Europe.
