Fascism is corporatism? Wow, tell that to musselini and franco.

Here are the facts of the matter:

Italian corporativismo , also called corporativism the theory and practice of organizing society into “corporations” subordinate to the state. According to corporatist theory, workers and employers would be organized into industrial and professional corporations serving as organs of political representation and controlling to a large extent the persons and activities within their jurisdiction. However, as the “corporate state” was put into effect in fascist Italy between World Wars I and II, it reflected the will of the country's dictator, Benito Mussolini, rather than the adjusted interests of economic groups.
