[edit] Influenced

In terms of the 'Western Philosophers' bracket, should "Benito Mussolini" really be under the "influenced" section? This is for philosophers influenced, I doubt very many would agree Mussolini to be a philosopher. I don't think Mussolini's appropriation of Gentile's philosophy denoted a separate philosophic current of any kind like Stalin's amendments to Marx's philosophic precepts.

[edit] Famous quote on Corporatism

Edit to Corporatism by 71.58.74.31 on 29 January 2008 - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corporatism&oldid=187628588

"Some critics equate too much corporate power and influence with fascism. Often they cite a quote claimed to be from Mussolini: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." This quote actually is from Giovanni Gentile, the philosopher of fascism, in the first edition of the Italian Encyclopedia (Enciclopedia Treccani)."

-- Can anyone confirm that this famous quote is from Giovanni Gentile? -- Writtenonsand (talk) 16:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
