Economists will always tell you that dictating to corporations is inefficient (tho some regulation is always necessary) - you want the corps. to get direct market signals instead.
Now sure what the 'it' is in your last questions (or how long this governance theory question will stay out of PARF)

There is an excellent book called “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg.
After WW1 an Italian socialist named Mussolini realized that italian peasants and workers didn’t like German or Russian peasants and workers. He figured that he could simply ad a component of nationalism to the class theory. He rode to power on that.
Hitler took it a step further and added race.
But otherwise still socialism.
Stalin was enfuriated by the competition and branded his rivals as “right wing”. Sort of like trotsky was called right wing. We still suffer under this lie.
