to terrorize his opponents
to round up opposition to his regime.
In Italy, gangs of fascist thugs, known as "Blackshirts" or "Squadristi," were employed by Benito Mussolini's Fascist Party to intimidate political opponents, disrupt socialist and labor movements, and assert control over urban areas. These violent squads engaged in street battles, using intimidation and brutality to suppress dissent and promote fascist ideology. Their actions helped establish a climate of fear that facilitated Mussolini's rise to power and the consolidation of the fascist regime in the early 1920s. Ultimately, they played a crucial role in undermining democracy and paving the way for authoritarian rule.
to terrorize his opponents ^^ that's WHY he did it but basically he had gangs to we'll say "scare" his opponents, if he thought someone was going against him or going to rebel he would organize these "gangs" to do something about it.
Hitler and Mussolini were both thugs, who appealed to the most barbaric and uncivilized elements of their respective nations.
In 1924, socialist leader Giacomo Matteotti was assassinated after denouncing the elections of that year. Later that year, the fascist paramilitary MVSN (also known as the Blackshirts) gave an ultimatum to Mussolini Ð he could crush the opposition or they would do it without him. This caused Mussolini to drop all pretenses of democracy in January 1925. After 1926, Mussolini formally outlawed all other parties following an assassination attempt on his life.
