Could someone give me a semi-in-depth overview of italian fascism? In what ways did it differ with the German national socialist ideology of the same time? From what I think I know about it, it sounds like an appealing ideology to me but I'd like to have you guys give me the facts. Thanks!!
Fascism was Totalitarian while National-Socialism was more Authortarian. Mussolini was deposed by the Grand Council of Fascists.
Mussolini was merely the grand wizard guiding the state, but the state would exist without him as long as the people believed. It was not dependent on him, though it fell apart because it was still in the infantile phase, where losing a master to guide the state would bring about ruinious collapse.
National-Socialism sought to bring about some of the cool shit of italian fascism, like the Hitler Youth. Though, by the time of World War 2 all the young adults going off to fight the war.. all they knew was the italian youth movement, since fascists had controlled the state since the early 20's.
The fascist state, approved of Syndicalists, in so much as they were for the good of the state. So workers were organized, for their collective efficiency, while individualists who sought to profit while the state suffered were punished.
That underscores an element of the Fascist state, it was pragmatic in nature something that it shares with the U.S. Loft ideals mean nothing if it cant be put into practice.

the state was a sponsored and endorsed corporation
So, as a follow up question, what makes this implausible as a happy/fulfilled/productive society?

Will almost always go authoritarian.

Fascism relies heavily on subordination to the state. Accept your position within it. Be it poor or rich. Do not try to change your social status, rather put that energy to change the states' position within the global community.
Fascism is inherently authoritarian
