Fascism is a totalitarian philosophy that glorifies the state and assigns it control over all aspects of national life. Fascism emerged in post-WWI Italy in response to nationalism, socialism, and fears of social disorder. Benito Mussolini founded the fascist movement and rose to power as Prime Minister in 1922, establishing a dictatorship and cult of personality around himself. Mussolini imposed a totalitarian regime through propaganda, indoctrination of youth, and suppression of dissent. However, fascism in Italy lacked the effectiveness of other totalitarian states and compromised with existing power structures like the Catholic Church.Taylor f. railroads
