Italian Social Republic: 12 September 1943 - 25 April 1945

During the Italian Social Republic (RSI) Mussolini, freed from realpolitik within the reactionary regime, moved to bring Fascism back to it's revolutionary, pro-labor, syndicalist roots and forged a stronger alliance with former Communist and long-time fellow-traveler of Fascism Nicola Bombacci.

Some of the economic measures devised included socialization of every occupation and industry exceeding X number of employees or X amount of finances or assets, and the widespread imposition of profit-sharing. Fascist socialization destroyed monopoly via the re-distribution of property and the investment of industrial and occupation self-government through the syndicates, whereas Bolshevist socialization preserved monopoly and endorsed the proletarianization of the masses, establishing the so-called Dictatorship of the Proletariat, really a dictatorship OSTENSIBLY on behalf of the proletariat, truly imposed upon and against the proletariat by parasitic state functionaries, not unlike the opportunist politicians and labor leaders of the social-democratic movement.

So naturally, the Communist partisans commenced in fighting for socialism by allying themselves with the global liberal-capitalist order, with whom Moscow had aligned prior, and actively broke-up socialization projects in the RSI via violence against the workers-collectives.

Understand that the Communists and the Social-Democrats aren't our friends anymore than the bourgeoisie. But put that into context, stand on a nuanced critique of Communism, not the knee-jerk anti-Communism ingrained in Western populations during the Cold War. Recognize that not all Marxists are created equal, and the movement is worth studying as the antithesis of our own, or at least a poor false-front.

Patriotic Socialism

Below is a quote from Enzo Pezzato in the Fascist Republic, 22 April 1945.

The context is the Italian Social Republic and the Republican Fascist Party, which were formed by Mussolini after he was deposed by the traitor King and his reactionaries.

"Our programs are decidedly revolutionary, our ideas belong to those that in the democratic regime would be called 'Left'; our institutions are a direct result of our programs; our ideal is the State of Labor.

On this there can be no doubt: we are the proletarians in struggle, for life and death, against capitalism.

We are the revolutionaries looking for a new order. If this is true, addressing the bourgeoisie by shaking the red danger is an absurdity. The true bogeyman, the authentic danger, the threat against which we struggle unabated, comes from the Right.

Therefore, we are not interested in having any ally, against the threat of red danger, the capitalist bourgeoisie: even at best it would only be a treacherous ally, which would try to make us serve its purposes, as it has already done more than one time with some success.

Wasting words for it is perfectly superfluous. Indeed, it is harmful, because it makes us confuse, by authentic revolutionaries of any color, with the men of the reaction we sometimes use the language."

Giovinezza - Italian Social Republic Anthem

Hail, people of heroes,
Hail, immortal Fatherland,
Your sons were born again
With the faith and the Ideal.
Your warriors' valour,
Your pioneers' virtue,
Alighieri's vision,
Today shines in every heart

Youth, Youth,
Spring of beauty,
In the hardship of life
Your song rings and goes!
And for Benito Mussolini,
And for our beautiful Fatherland,

In the Italian borders,
Italians have been remade
Mussolini has remade them
For tomorrow's war,
For labour's glory,
For peace and for the laurel,
For the shame of those
Who repudiated our Fatherland

The poets and the artisans,
The lords and the countrymen,
With an Italian's pride
Swear fealty to Mussolini
No poor neighbourhood exists
That doesn't send its hordes
That doesn't unfurl the flags
Of redeeming Fascism
