I have to fill in the following for a fascist economy.
Ownership of resources = private
Philosophers= Karl Marx (are there more?)
Role of government= to controls production and allocation of resources
Reaction to social and technological Change= don't know
Role of nature= don't know
examples= Germany and Italy(both in WW2)
Could someone please help me on the ones I did not get? And are the rest right? Thanks
Marx was not a fascist philosopher; he was a communist philosopher. Check this site.

Fascists embrace technological change, but are slower to accept social change.
Then believe that nature is to be used for man's benefit.
The other two are correct.
Sure! Let's go through the ones you are unsure about and clarify the rest.
Reaction to social and technological change in a fascist economy: In a fascist economy, the reaction to social and technological change can vary. Fascist regimes typically promote and prioritize traditional values and societal structures, often resisting progressive or liberal changes. They may view technological advancements as tools to strengthen their power and control rather than embracing them for their potential societal benefits. It's important to note that the exact reaction can vary depending on the specific context and the ideology of the ruling fascist regime.
Role of nature in a fascist economy: The role of nature is not typically a central concern in fascist economic ideology. Fascist regimes tend to prioritize human interests, nationalistic goals, and the expansion of state power rather than environmental sustainability or conservation. This does not mean that concepts related to nature, such as resources, can't be important in economic planning, but they are usually secondary to the regime's political and ideological objectives.
Regarding the rest:
- The ownership of resources being private is one of the defining characteristics of a fascist economy. Fascist economies emphasize private property and individual rights, but usually under close government supervision and control.
- Karl Marx is not associated with fascist economies. It's important to note that Karl Marx is a philosopher known for his influential ideas on socialism and communism. While both fascist and socialist/communist ideologies are authoritarian in nature, they have distinct differences in their economic and political principles. Scholars and philosophers typically associate fascist economies more with thinkers such as Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile.
- The role of the government in a fascist economy is generally to control and direct the production and allocation of resources. Fascist regimes tend to have a strong central government with broad powers to influence the economy, often through corporatist structures where the state and private sector cooperate to achieve economic and political goals.
- Germany and Italy under fascist rule during World War II are indeed historical examples of countries that adopted fascist economic systems. The economy under the Nazi regime in Germany and the fascist regime in Italy had characteristics of corporatism, a mix of private ownership and government control, and a focus on building a strong national economy to support their respective political agendas.
Remember that economic systems and ideologies can be complex, and there may be nuances and variations in their interpretations and implementations.
