A patron of Economic Update asks: ""Professor Wolff, here is something that has been on my mind; Mussolini was originally a Marxist and internationalist socialist. How did Mussolini ideologically transition from socialism to fascism? Are there any ideological strains of Marxism that the fascists incorporated into their program? I'd be interested to hear your response."
