Heck, Fascism's big slogan was that it was the "Third way".  Neither Capatilist nor Communist.

Though still Super Authoritarian.  Which, in America it's argueable which Party is the Authoritarian party... hence general confusion.

Of course terms like "right and left" itself is rather stupid, since there are plenty of differnet sliders and placing it on a simple one line is well... stupid.

 

An Ideal Facism actually tries to provide well for it's people.  Afterall it prevents unrest, and it's a lot easier to stoke nationalistic tendencies when you keep people happy.   Fascist Germany actually rebounded economically for example, and Mussolini actually tried to improve life for the peasents... he just kinda sucked at it.

In a weird way... China actually seems like the perfect example of a "well functioning facism" despite being called communist.

I think the Chinese abandoned communism when the leadership started to preach, "Getting rich is glorous" so now they play more free markets, and state investing, but crack down on civil liberties in other areas.  Basically, bribe the people with a chance to get rich, but don't question the leadership. 

Which is how a "good fasicsm" should work.  That was Mussolini's goal.  He wanted the goverment to take direct control over the economy so he could fix it, and maintain control to make sure it stayed good and then improve the life of every working class citizen.  He just never got the economy around so he was never able to imrpove the economy.

He thought that having the means to force people to sacrifice he could make things better for everybody in the end including those who sacrificed by giving them more later down the line.

He just wasn't able to fix the economy.
