Having read Mussolini’s Doctrine of Fascism, fascist movements promote a corporatist economy whereby, in theory, representatives of capital and labour interest groups work together within sectoral corporations to create both harmonious labour relations and maximization of production that would serve the national interest.

A good example of this in action is the European Economic & Social Committee http://www.eesc.europa.eu/?i=portal.en.home

However, Fascism & Communism have now merged in the world of politics to present itself as Communitarianism, represented in the UK by Red Toryism, that Philip Blonde version of a Communitarian Britain who is one of Camerons mentors.

State & Business working in harmony to ensure a neatly ordered, regulated existence for the populus of the EU. Business has never had it so good... the people just pay..
