    Fascists didn’t try to change any economic relations

    They had labor camps where they used slave labor to further the war effort. Slavery was imposed upon people for whom economic interactions had previously been consensual and free.

    Why wouldn’t authorizations like capitalism?

    Because it is an economic system based on consensual exchange. That’s why it’s referred to as a “free market” system.

      Well, first off, I will remind you that the great slave nations were almost all Capitalist.

      Secondly, Capitalism is not based on consensual exchange, and no free market means no government interference, the fact that we have laws against slavery inherently mean the market is LESS free, Capitalism is an economic system where power is mainly held by the capital holders, instead of the workers.

      Ironically, Capitalism can function perfectly fine with planed, and authoritarian economies… like it did during Nazi Germany.

      then again, I don’t expect someone spouting the old Glenbech shit to actually know anything about economic and political ideologies…
