Stalin was no right winger. Who is talking about Hitler? Did you mean to rapid to another question and click this by accident?

Yes, Mussolini meant it as a compliment. Stalin's forebear Lenin had recommended Giovanni Gentile's work analyzing Marx as a sort of must-read. If one doesn't understand why that matters, start googling/Wiki-ing ole Giovanni.
Seriously, why are dudes like Joe always fixated on Hitler? He wasn't the REAL fascist anyway, his advisors didn't like corporatism because they thought it was too "conservative".

These people also mistakenly thought I meant Hitler when I was asking about Marx.:
