no Benito Mussolini and the philsopher Giovanni Gentile wrote the doctrine of fascism in Italy in 1932, before Hitler came prominent. By Scott B

Benito Mussolini is usually credited with writing The Doctrine of Fascism (though many scholars believe he didn't write it, but was called the author because he was the party leader). This book is the first, and really the only book about fascist theory. [Hitler's Mein Kampf is not about fascism.]

Fascism started in Italy and then spread to Germany, where it was more effective. Romania and Hungary also adopted fascism, and Spain underwent civil war that resulted in a fascist government. Croatia also held a puppet fascist government. Many other countries, such as Portugal, held a military dictatorship that acted somewhat like fascism.

In simplest terms, of the inferiority of the individual to the collective or state. In practice, this translates into vast authority for the Leader of the state. More generally, "fascism" is any action which proceeds from the attitude, "I don't need to hear about your concerns, because I've already decided what's best for all of us."

Fascism is EVIL!
