Crony Capitalism and Benito Mussolini


Many readers who are too young to remember the Italian fascist dictator of the 1920s to 1940s, Benito Mussolini, ought to read up on the rise and rule of this leftist, former newspaper man. It will get Americans, especially, thinking about state capitalism or what may be designated as crony capitalism.

I must point out that the fascism I refer to (and this applies to the German Nazi party), was firmly, all the way on the left in their politics, something completely overlooked in most media commentary.

Then, after such reading, think about ongoing events in the U.S. that may strike you as being similar to crony legislation and acts of that past. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
