“Stalinism and Maoism are political systems that, although they formally followed the model of Marxism and proletarian ideology, in practice were political systems much closer to Hegelianism as such. Without waiting for the final victory of capitalism on a global scale and the widespread establishment of civil society, Soviet Russia under Stalin, and later Communist China under Mao, began to build a post-civil state where the focus was on state-building, and class theory only contributed to the accelerated (forced) industrialization and urbanization of the previously agrarian population. Thus, Soviet Russia and Communist China followed the path of Hegel, in a version closer to the Third Political Theory than to classical Marxism.” ~ Alexander Dugin, Hegel and the Fourth Political Theory

A Vietnamese official called the Khmer Rouge leaders Hitlerite-fascists, while the General Secretary of the Kampuchean People's Revolutionary Party, Pen Sovan, referred to the Khmer Rouge as a "draconian, dictatorial and fascist regime".

"More specifically the direct role of the state in economic planning and management is not confined to the so-called radical (or socialist) regimes: countries like 'conservative' Saudi Arabia and 'Islamic' Iran possess planning mechanisms and public sectors that are easily comparable in size and role with those of the 'socialist' state.

While the concept of Lebensraum was clearly influenced by America's "Manifest Destiny," Nazi propagandists "promised" that Germany would return expropriated land back to Native Americans. The Nazis rather had a complex and often contradictory view of Native Americans. Some Nazi ideologues admired aspects of Native American culture, particularly their connection to the land and a perceived warrior ethos. This admiration stemmed from a romanticized notion of "noble savagery," which viewed Indigenous peoples as embodying qualities that Nazis believed were essential for a strong, heroic race. However, some Nazi intellectuals viewed the Anglo conquest (of) and expansion in America as a sign of Nordic civilizational supremacy.

https://archive.org/details/historicaldictio0000sand/mode/1up?q=1924 A split between “nationalists” and “communists” began to emerge in the MPP, whose members included lamas and nobles. In August 1922 Prime Minister Bodoo was executed as a “counterrevolutionary.” In 1923, the year of Siihbaatar’s death, the MPP’s program was amended so that the party could be “purged of oppressor class elements.” In 1924, when the Bogd Khan died, Mongolia’s religious leaders were forbidden to search for a new incarnation. A congress of the MPP proclaimed the Leninist “noncapitalist path of development,” and the party was renamed the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP). Under the first constitution the Mongolian People’s Republic was proclaimed in November, with its capital renamed Ulan Bator (“red hero”). Soliyn Danzan was executed for “bourgeois tendencies.”

"By the fall of 1932, conservative leaders stated that they saw no difference between the "red Bolshevism" of the communist KPD and the "brown Bolshevism" of Hitler's Nazi party. The Nazis retaliated by branding the conservatives as being reactionary and bourgeois." — lan Kershaw. Source: Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris, pp.390-391.

Economic policies of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi: Mohammad Reza had strong étatist tendencies and was deeply involved in the economy, with his economic policies bearing a strong resemblance to the same étatist policies being pursued simultaneously by General Park Chung-hee in South Korea. Mohammad Reza considered himself a socialist, saying he was "more socialist and revolutionary than anyone". Reflecting his self-proclaimed socialist tendencies, although unions were illegal, the Shah brought in labour laws that were "surprisingly fair to workers". Sources: Milani, Abbas (2011). The Shah.

Economic policies of the Rastakhiz Party: The Rastakhiz Party became involved in economic policy shortly after its formation, particularly through campaigns to control prices and regulate market activity. The Shah and the party leadership sought to mobilize the organization to implement economic initiatives associated with the later phases of the White Revolution. One of the most notable initiatives was the campaign against "profiteering" and price increases. Party authorities organized inspection teams, partly composed of university students and activists, who were sent to markets to monitor prices and investigate merchants accused of overcharging. Thousands of shopkeepers were fined, and some were temporarily imprisoned or forced to close their businesses as part of these enforcement measures. Contemporary reports indicate that the campaign involved large-scale investigations of merchants, with thousands of traders subjected to fines, imprisonment, or temporary exile from their cities. The party also attempted to reform the traditional guild system and increase state supervision of economic activity in the bazaars. Existing guild organizations were dissolved and replaced with new councils placed under government oversight. In Tehran and other major cities, these bodies were integrated into state administrative structures and supervised by government officials. At the same time, state agencies expanded their roles in regulating imports, distributing basic goods such as wheat, sugar, and meat, and implementing price-stabilization policies intended to curb inflation. Economic initiatives associated with the party also included broader efforts to expand state influence over industrial ownership and economic planning. In connection with later phases of the White Revolution, the government promoted policies designed to increase worker participation in industrial enterprises and prevent the emergence of large concentrations of private economic power. These measures were presented by the Shah as part of a form of "democratic economy" intended to combine elements of private enterprise with broader social participation in production. Many observers and later historians argued that these policies generated significant resentment among bazaar merchants and small traders, who viewed the anti-profiteering campaign and new regulatory measures as an intrusion into traditional economic institutions. Government inspection teams, new state trading companies, and expanded regulation of guild activities were widely perceived within the bazaars as attempts to weaken the traditional market economy. As tensions increased, many merchants sought support from religious authorities, reinforcing the longstanding alliance between bazaar traders and the clerical establishment. The resulting tensions contributed to the deterioration of relations between the monarchy and the bazaar community during the final years of the Pahlavi regime.

https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/economy-ix/ Reżā Shah’s rule was characterized by nationalistic, autarchic economic policies, replacing the foreign concessionary economic system prevalent under the Qajars with state monopolies and direct government involvement in major infra-structural and productive investments. His model was the reformist and modernizing policies followed by Kemal Ataturk in neighboring Turkey. Reżā Shah established a state monopoly over foreign trade, imposed strict foreign exchange controls, founded Persia’s first national bank (Bānk-e mellī), aimed at taking over the note-issuing function of the British-owned Imperial Bank of Persia (Bānk-e šāhī; see BANKING IN IRAN), initiated important reforms in the legal system, and introduced legislation with far-reaching effects in the areas of education, public health, government bureaucracy, and military conscription. Although Reżā Shah’s economic program was driven more by nationalist fervor than by a coherent development strategy, there is no doubt that his economic and social reforms were instrumental in rescuing Persia from the political and economic anarchy that had afflicted the country in the aftermath of the First World War.

The Deviant Current is a political group in Iran which functions like a faction or party. The group is based on the ideology of former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was president for eight years. Ahmadinejad embraces various ideologies, like national conservatism, anti-capitalism, anti-communism, economic populism and many more. Ahmadinejad rejected both the right-wing and the left-wing and was for a "Third Stream". Current Supreme Leader of Iran Mojtaba Khamenei isn't affilated with the group itself, however with some members like Ahmadinejad.
