Socialization is a fascist economic doctrine promoted as a "third way" between capitalism and communism.

This economic theory, which was never implemented because of the events of the Second World War, was developed in the manifest of Verona on Nov. 14, 1943, a document that contained the program of the Fascist Republican Party, the ruling party of the newly formed Italian Social Republic. For this reason, socialization is considered the typical economic doctrine of fascism while that implemented in the Kingdom of Italy was purely based on the corporatist doctrine contained in the Charter of Labour.

The basis of socialization is the total absence of employees, with any economically productive entitying belong equally to all its employees, who be neither masters nor employees. This is unlike capitalism, where the means of economic production are owned by individuals or organisations unconnected to production, while production is entrusted to employees, and unlike communism, where property is owned by the State and is managed by politically-approved administrators. Like capitalism, the theory of socialization provides for the right to private property, freedom of economic initiative, respect for the laws of supply and demand and free competition.

Socialization, unlike Communist collectivization, does not provide the implementation of their doctrine of seizurement through a revolution, but through a legislative prohibition of wage labour. The hierarchy and division of profits of companies would have been decided by election among all participants in the company, in the style of corporatism.

The full implementation of socialization was scheduled, ironically, for April 25th 1945, the very day Italy was captured by the Allies from German and Italian Fascists.

The first act of the Committee for National Liberation CLNAI after the defeat of Fascism in northern Italy was the elimination of Decree Law on socialization (25 April 1945).

So far the single application of the theory of socialization can be found in some Israeli kibbutz.

[edit] The Charter of Verona: the regulatory requirements of socialization

The socialization program outlined in the "Charter" was quite hazy and sometimes contradictory. In Verona Manifesto stated that the basis of the Republic of social and economic doctrine of PFR is work (Article 9); that private property, the product of work and savings would have been guaranteed, it should not have been as disruptive transform into entities Personality exploiting the work of others (Article 10). All that was in the collective interest from an economic point of view should be nationalised (Article 11). Companies would be regulated and collaboration between workers and workers for the distribution of profits and for the setting of wages would be initiated (Article 12). In agriculture lands uncultivated or poorly managed were to be expropriated and reallocated to labourers and agricultural cooperatives (Article 13). The National Board for the people's house would have had the objective of providing a home to all property (Article 15). It would be a trade union of workers required, and would have met all categories (Article 16).
