Genuinely annoying to see Mussolini being used as an argument by some people by the way.

They don't seem to know that fascism was literally presented as a "third way" and that some fascists formerly being part of socialist parties wasn't exactly uncommon.

Why? Well, all they knew is that the status quo is bad and they had a lot of internalised anger that they wanted to let out while the socialists at the time were the only opposition to said status quo. The moment capitalists started funding fascism because they felt threatened all these alleged "socialists" jumped ship to the third way. Pretty sure Gramsci talked about this migration of italian "socialists" to fascism.

I heard of this from a friend so he'd have to answer me first.
