Corporate statism or state corporatism is a political culture and a form of corporatism the proponents of which claim or believe that corporate groups should form the basis of society and the state. By this principle, the state requires all citizens to belong to one of several officially designated interest groups (based generally on economic sector), which consequently have great control of their members. Such interest groups thus attain public status, and they or their representatives participate with national policymaking, at least formally.[1]

    The Futurist’s Manifesto of Futurism (1909) had some disturbing parallels/influence. Disturbing to me, anyways. As a designer, I see this glossed over by plenty of folks who seem to be okay with blindly romanticizing Futurism and Fascist architecture.

    We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.

    We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice.

    It is from Italy that we launch through the world this violently upsetting incendiary manifesto of ours. With it, today, we establish Futurism, because we want to free this land from its smelly gangrene of professors, archaeologists, ciceroni and antiquarians. For too long has Italy been a dealer in second-hand clothes. We mean to free her from the numberless museums that cover her like so many graveyards.

      Marinetti has been on Mussolini’s side - like most futurists - for many years. While there were some divergences, and the relationship between futurism and fascism are very debated, the fact that a link between the two exists is undeniable indeed.
