Corporatism that Mussolini was speaking of (though this direct quote can't be attributed to him) is a return to the guild system, not corporations as we would think of them.

Shit still goes hard, though. Just needed to satisfy the itch to get to the bottom of the quote.

Can confirm, I own a 1964 Websters Dictionary, and it defines Fascism as

A totalitarian form of government in Italy administered by the Fascisti (A political organization) which advocated the building of a highly nationalistic state, recognizing private ownership except when he state determined otherwise.

Proof

Honestly mad props on taking this as an opportunity to flex that you own a dictionary from 1964.

Those opportunities are rare to find, and anyone who says it's not cool is just jealous.
