Reddit mentions of Economy and class structure of German fascism

You know a latin word doesn't mean a political structure. Classical liberalism developed in the early 19th century, about 1800 years after the Romans.

And knowing what freedom means is one thing, but putting it into practice it certainly doesn't mean "no external regulations on any business between consenting people." Between you and I if I make a widget and you like widget and want to buy it-- what are you going to buy it with? Money? did we make the money? Agree on its value? or is that an external regulation? What if you're making a product next to my kids daycare, and it starts poisoning my kid and all my neighbours kids? Are we free to not be poisoned? Or does your freedom over-ride my kids? You concent to sell your product to another concenting people, but if you poison my land and water and life in the process of your freedom we have two choices; either we regulate, or we come after you with pitchforks.

Maybe read some Guerin or get your hands on Harvard's breakdown heck, even SohnRethel's Economy and Class Structure of German Fascism could help you clarify what's happening. Though don't overlook Arthur Schweitzer's Big Business in the Third Reich. If you read these and still think the antifa are the fascists now, there may be no hope for smusalmon.
