Fascism is a bad system. It's all top down. No one has freedom to try, to risk, or to innovate. It's all just do as you are told and shut up about it.

I would be the last person to argue in favor of a command economy, whether Fascist, Communist, or some other flavor. But during WW2, every belligerent's economy was pretty much centrally controlled. In the US, we had the War Production Board (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Production_Board) with a half-dozen or so sub-boards. They made all major production decisions, allocated resources (including labor), and coordinated transportation. The UK had the same system under a different name. It was all "voluntary" of course, and no one was shot for refusing to participate. But there was a lot of social and political pressure to "do your part."

Thank you all for your help. I'll keep from wholly trusting my radar from now on.

I read Jimbuna's message today about the community, and I couldn't agree more. Since I've gotten here, I have ALWAYS had questions answered, suggestions and comments given, and a sense of camaradrie rarely found on the web.

Live long, Subsim. Live long.
