John T. Flynn
In 1944, John T. Flynn wrote a polemical work, As we go marching, aimed against socialist and social democratic tendencies that he saw beginning to subvert capitalism. He characterises fascism based on an analysis of Mussolini's Italy:
- Anti-capitalist, but with capitalist features;
- Economic demand management...
- ...through budget deficits
- Direct economic planning, reconciled with partial economic autonomy through corporatism;
- Militarism and imperialism;
- Suspension of rule of law.
