Don't need luck. Italians already achieved it. Nazis were trying to prepare a Germany that had been internally diseased for a generation for impending total war and are harder to judge, although all the best organic nationalists were critical of the totalitarian aspects of the state, especially in the late 1930s and during the war.

I recommend reading Jefferson and/or Mussolini, by Ezra Pound.

>I. When enough exists, means should be found to distribute it to the people who need it.
>II. It is the business of the nation to see that its own citizens get their share before worrying about the rest of the world.
>(This is akin to the Confucian idea that you achieve the good of the world by FIRST achieving good government IN your own country.)
>III. When potential production (possible production) of anything is sufficient to meet everyone’s needs it is the business of the government to see that both production and distribution are achieved.
>Note that in America when there was plenty and more than plenty of land, our government handed it out despite Quincy Adams’s protests.

>This third idea becomes an “idea statale” when I say “it is the business of the government.” But note that Mussolini is NOT a fanatical statalist wanting the state to blow the citizen’s nose and monkey with the individual’s diet. IF, when and whenever the individual or the industry can and will attend to its own business, the fascist state WANTS the industry and the individual to DO it, and it is only in case of sheer idiocy, incapacity or simple greed and dog-in-the-mangerness that the state intervenes to protect the unorganized PEOPLE; public; you me and the other fellow.

>The rest is political “machinery,” bureaucracy, flummydiddle. Jefferson, Mussolini, Lenin, all hated or hate it. Lenin wanted to get rid of it: “All this is political machinery, want to get rid of it,” as Stef reported Lenin’s opinion in 1918.
