Fascist Italy/Spain and Nazi Germany were capitalist,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_fascism It isn't socialism, there isn't workers control of the means of production (The USSR wasn't socialist either, but state capitalist/bureaucratic collectivist) "During and after the Spanish Civil War, Franco and the Falange created a corporative system based on the Italian model. Economic liberalism was replaced with economic intervention according to the wishes of the corporations, which also set prices and wages." Sounds like capitalism to me. Just not free-market capitalism. "In 1942, Hitler privately said: “I absolutely insist on protecting private property ... we must encourage private initiative†" Ads |

"If you think free market capitalism is the only way you have democracy, studying world politics tells you that's wrong."
Fail on the first sentence: free market capitalism represents freedom and choice - equality for all--not three wolves and a sheep democratically voting on what's for dinner. |

Capitalism is the economic system in which investment in or wealth is controlled by individuals and/or corporations as opposed to cooperative systems where the state is in control. But Capitalism itself has been successful under dictatorships like the old monarchies of Europe and is very successful in the socialist Scandinavian Countries. The reality is that even hard core Communist Countries like China know how to exploit the capitalist system. The irony is that most successful corporations are structured like a cooperative system with share holders(the state) and a Politburo (the board of directors).If you believe that Corporations or Wall street actually dictate or dominate our economy then we must be a capitalist democracy.
