Fascist push programs favoring the wealthy
The economic programs of the great majority of fascist movements were extremely conservative, favoring the wealthy far more than the middle class and the working class. Their talk of national “socialism” was quite fraudulent in this respect.
Although some workers were duped by it before the fascists came to power, most remained loyal to the traditional antifascist parties of the left. “Property and income distribution and the traditional class structure remained roughly the same under fascist rule. What changes there were favored the old elites or certain segments of the party leadership.” Historian Roger Eatwell concurred: “If a revolution is understood to mean a significant shift in class relations, including a redistribution of income and wealth, there was no Nazi revolution.” - Brittanica
Fascists lower standard of living and lower wages
Mussolini cut taxes on business, permitted cartel growth, decreed wage reduction, and rescinded the eight-hour-workday law. Between 1928 and 1932 real wages in Italy dropped by almost half. Mussolini admitted that the standard of living had fallen.
Hitler abolished all free trade unions in Germany, and his minister of labour, Robert Ley, later declared that it was necessary “to restore absolute leadership to the natural leader of the factory, that is, the employer.”- Brittanica
Republican policies follow the same fascist playbook.


Going backwards
