Page "Fascism" Paragraph 121

Other fascist regimes were indifferent or hostile to corporatism.

The Nazis initially attempted to form a corporatist economic system like that of Fascist Italy, creating the National Socialist Institute for Corporatism in May 1933, which included many major economists who argued that corporatism was consistent with National Socialism.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler spoke enthusiastically about the " National Socialist corporative idea " as one which would eventually " take the place of ruinous class warfare ".

However, the Nazis later came to view corporatism as detrimental to Germany and institutionalizing and legitimizing social differences within the German nation.

Instead, the Nazis began to promote economic organisation that emphasized the biological unity of the German national community.
