"Fascism and corporatism I saw with the faith of a revolutionary oriented towards a conception of a communist character which had its culminating point in the proposal of the proprietary corporation at the congress of Ferrara in 1932.
From Bottai I expected an explicit collaboration in this direction, albeit within the limits of an extremely difficult political situation, dominated not only by the two capitalist forces but above all by liberal and conservative culture, by Croce and Einaudi.
[6] Furthermore, the Proprietary Corporation is part of the ideological conception of fascism in the labor and economic sphere by referring to Article VII of the Labor Charter: (...)the organization of the company is responsible for the direction of production before the State (...) it is also right that the technicians, employees, workers, who are called to carry out a given project, are considered with active and intelligent collaborators, and that a reciprocal sum of duties and rights derives from this.(...)
This decree, endorsed and signed by Benito Mussolini and several Fascist hierarchs, established a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework aimed at economic socialization.
The realization of the proprietary corporation concept remained severely limited, preventing the full exploration of its potential impacts on economic structure and worker participation.
