The Fascist economic doctrines lacked any cohesion. There was no operation of the free market in fascism, but rather the illusion of a group of independent corporate leaders who, in reality, acted as extensions of the state and were allowed to keep impressive salaries as a payoff. It was as close to communism as one could get without collectivizing all industry, and fascism certainly shared with communism a bent for terrorism and violence. There was no life without shedding blood, according to Mussolini. L. Schweikart, M. Allen, A Patriots History of the United States.
