If a vaguely populist leader started outright talking about supporting fascism, that would quite rightly bring to mind at least Italian Fascism if not German Nazism, and arguing that they just meant the idea of close mutual support and people being stronger together (like a fasces) would not work.
But weren’t those states actually fascist? Close mutual support and being stronger together are fairly universal values that aren’t exclusive to one ideology, whereas democracy in the workplace is actually something specific to left wing ideology.
Then don’t call it communism.

Nah I don’t care about their propaganda. Marx defined communism, not wealthy capitalists running a smoke screen.
why not? it was called like this in the book the idea came out of.
