Fascism solved national representation by organizing citizens into functional pyramids inside the State

Evidence

95 “If the State is truly to represent the nation, then the people composing the nation must be part of the State. “How is this to be secured? “The Fascist answer is by organizing the people in groups according to their respective activities, groups which through their leaders …rise by stages as in a pyramid, at the base of which are the masses and at the apex the State. “No group outside the State, no group against the State, all groups within the State …which …is the nation itself rendered articulate.” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2473
