For example - financial incentives for certain people to stop procreating, and for other people to start procreating. Currently the institution of "welfare state" is encouraging less intelligent or less able people to breed fast, and does nothing to increase fertility of people who are more ambitious and continue education or pursue careers. So social policies in a welfare state are perhaps dysgenic.
Nazis adopted eugenicism for their own purposes, but they didn't invent eugenics - it has a much longer history.
And I'm not aware of Fascists implementing any eugenic policies. Only Nazis did, AFAIK.
Did Fascists in Italy or elsewhere support eugenics ???
Can you see a western political democracy passing laws based on the finding that certain groups or classes or individuals are "superior" and therefore should be given a stipend for each child produced, or vice versa, offering money to those defined as "inferior" if they accept sterilization?
Nazis were fascists, just a particular type of fascist.
There was no euthanasia or forced sterilization in Italy or Spain or in the authoritarian regimes in eastern Europe, to my knowledge, the way there was in Germany. There, they were even sterilizing young girls who had been hospitalized for depression. Interesting you bring this up, I watched a you tube video on the Lebensborn program just a few days ago.

Monstrous, these people, just monstrous. More monstrous is how many of them there were who would lend themselves to it.
