Ding! Ding! Ding! Remember when they needed to spur their economic growth and went whole-hog to somewhat free markets? Gingrich was saying we should emulate them. Fascism and communism are kissing cousins.
Even Lenin had the New Economic Program (NEP) that instituted some free markets in the Soviet Union. Stalin eventually nixed it.
A fascist country can actually feed it's self.
Of course it is also a slave economy so it is not at it's peak but for the most part people are not starving.
Fascism is about the most dangerous thing around. It combines the practicality of business, the power of government, the fervor and sacrifice of religion, the propaganda ability of media and the coldness of science into one big ball that crushes everything in its path.
