Best to be careful of the fallacy of ambiguity, Roger. In Mussolini's Italia "corporatism" had a more inclusive meaning than it does today. By the way, there is doubt as to whether Mussolini ever actually said or wrote that.

Quote
Historically, corporatism or corporativism (Italian: corporativismo) refers to a political or economic system in which power is given to civic assemblies that represent economic, industrial, agrarian, social, cultural, and professional groups. These civic assemblies are known as corporations (not necessarily the business model known as a 'corporation' though such businesses are not excluded from the definition either).
