No kynes. Many industries were nationalized when he came to power but he privatized them. Once this occurred, nothing was accountable to the people.
really? cuz mussolini's own memoirs, and history say otherwise.
one example that springs to mind is italy's "nationalized" railway which was in fact govt run before mussolini, and it was plagued by waste, inefficiency and bullshit.
he took it from the bureaucrats who had been running it into the ground (like Amtrak in the US) and handed it directly to a select group of party apparatchiks to operate
thats how he "Made the trains run on time" (i bet that phrase sounds familiar)
and yet he did NOT "privatize it" at best you could say he "Reformed It" or "Put it under new management"
the govt still maintained direct control, still owned it, still set the agenda, and still took the lion's share of the profits (which had been negligible under the bureaucrats) and merely used a piece of the pie as incentive for the new managers to keep shit moving.
yep, still socialist, still nationalized, just better run with an incentive for doing your job competently.
you wish you were as socialist as mussolini.
