I dunno. I am wondering if Eleanor Roosevelt is now also a fascist in retrospect, or if it was just her husband...

If there were fans of Mussolini-style corporatism in the 1930s, they had no noticeable influence in US govt. that I have ever heard of. And anyway, the US went to war against fascist Italy, so they must have really hated that part of it, must have been dreadfully painful to watch from the halls of power.
