    Businesses use feudalism, with the monarch (CEO), court (board), and several levels of lords and vassals.

      Wasn’t fascism modelled after early feudalism?

      There were obvious differences, fascism has more nationalism and racism, IMO, but at the core, aren’t they extremely similar?

      I’m no expert on either. I just know enough to get myself into (and hopefully out of) trouble in these discussions.

        Fascism is a reactionary attempt to “turn back the clock” to the glory days of Capitalism before it decayed as much. Capitalism necessarily results in crisis, at which points occasionally the Bourgeoisie and Petite Bourgeoisie, the “middle class,” work together against the lower classes, ie the Proletariat and Lumpenproletariat. It usually rises as a response to climbing Socialism as the train of thought among the Proletariat.

        It isn’t necessarily modeled after anything, history isn’t driven by ideas but Material Conditions and class conflict.
