there's a big break between fascist theory (which was often populist, anti-financier) and fascist practice (which was pro-financier, as long as it served their purposes). The fascists were (and are) extremely opportunistic. ^^^^^^ CB: Yes, the fascists are infamous for their big lies and demogogy, and this would fit with that. I keep thinking that the Nazis were the henchmen for some anti-semitic bankers and other bourgeoisie ,and that they did the ultimate in hostile takeovers. If the Nazis were so hostile to all bankers and financiers, why did they respect the neutrality of Switzerland during the war ? And Germany had a system more bank centered than stock market centered. Are we to believe that the Nazis were oppressing all bankers or, that they were the agents of the most reactionary, most chauvinist, most anti-semitic, racist and militarist sector of finance capital, including international finance capital and international capital ?
