I've been fascinated by figures like Nicola Bombacci, Edmondo Rossoni, and Sergio Panunzio, all of them shared a common characteristic, which is that their brand of fascism tended to be far more explicitly pro-worker and anti-capitalist than mainstream fascism. Even though Mussolini ended up cozying up to big businesses these people still stuck by him. Fascism is such an odd and intriguing ideology because it is nebulous by design, are there other examples of fascists who had more "left wing" or perhaps even socially liberal beliefs?
The Italian Nationalist Association (ANI) had some remarkably left-wing sounding passages, despite being solidly far-right.>Nationalism was perhaps the only movement of ideas in Italy which, to Italians absorbed in the problem of internal distribution of wealth, raised the issue of the international distribution of wealth. It proclaimed out loud that, alongside internal justice, there also exists international justice, and asked for justice for the Italian nation too. In this sense Nationalism deserved the name socialism of the nations. Indeed, if there is a nation which has the right and the duty to behave nationalistically it is precisely the Italian nation, the proletarian nation par excellence, suffocated in a world dominated by the high-handedness and greed of capitalist and plutocratic nations
