Notes for World History
MEANING OF FASCISM
Fascism never produced a great writer who could explain its philosophy clearly in the way that Marx did for communism; this makes it difficult to put down exactly what fascism means. However, it eventually emerged that Mussolini’s fascism had the following basic features:
- A stable and authoritarian government
- Extreme nationalism
- A one-party state
- Economic self-sufficiency
- Modern forms of propaganda- uniforms, marches, songs, etc.
- Military strength and violence
