Any attempt to stifle market forces would be pure populist demagogy and misguided public policy. Class terminology, regional culture and the terms Proto-Fascism, Folkism, Demagogy or Populism have very frequently been used to explain this continuity in these and other regions from (National) Liberalism to National-Socialism.
