The prominent libertarian scholar Ludwig von Mises showed that even though fascists and Nazis allowed private property, nominal owners were deprived of the rights to manage it.
"If the State takes the power of disposal from the owner piecemeal, by extending its influence over production; if its power to determine what direction production shall be, is increased, then the owner is left at last with nothing except the empty name of ownership, and property has passed into the hands of the State," wrote Mises in Socialism.
Both fascists and Nazis undertook an enormous task to amalgamate entrepreneurs and toilers into one classless nation directed by a single ideology and reporting to the state and party elites.
First of all, Italian fascism and National Socialism belong to the Left, as they are incarnations of the non-Marxian socialism that utilized collectivization of consciousness rather than the socialization of private property as the primary path.
Secondly, de facto state control over the economy will ultimately lead to the socialization of private property, which will make the state de jure owner.
At the same time, traditional regimes of the Left, including Italian fascism and German National Socialism, implemented an economy of national autarchy.
The irony is that the sins of nationalism and racism attributed to the right mostly originated and grew on the Left's turf.
