Only fascists pretend that fascists were socialists.

Its almost as if mussolini got kicked out of the Italian socliast league specifically for not remotely socialist.

Movements don't rise from nothing. His first supporters were card carrying members of the Italian Socialist Party. "Kicked out" of a party you replace is a weird way to say it.

His first supporters were nothing of the sort and the fascists fought the socialists.

If fighting socialists disqualifies you as a socialist, then there would be no socialists.

I agree. However, fascsists aren't socialists. If it isn't socialism for everyone it isn't socialism at all.

The national socialists had to change their name from what it was previously. Hitler wanted to use "socialist" as a buzzword to trick idiots.
