Hayek notes that many Nazi and fascist leaders, such as Mussolini, began as socialists before adopting fascism or Nazism. He points out that this transition was common among members of these movements, highlighting how easily a young communist could become a Nazi, or vice versa, due to their shared opposition to classical liberalism.

Fascists are just hyper nationalistic commies

I'm not sure if i've already talk with you about this on a previous note but many people doesn't know, or skip the part about Mussolini spends around 10 years with a Jewish-born socialist activist Angelica Balabanova, future secretary of the Communist International (USSR), she was to become his first teacher in politics and literature (and his mistress).

Very funny to see how actual "communist/socialist/antifascist groups" try to hide, forget, erase this information.. or just deny it saying it wasn't real communism or socialism 😭😆

I don’t remember talking about this with you before, but it’s always good to share such relevant information. It’s amazing how many people try to erase or deny these historical facts when they don’t fit their narrative.
