Did Mussolini support government ownership of property?
first answer: No, Mussolini and fascism did not support government ownership of property. He encouraged private ownership.
second improved answer: Fascism & communism are both socialist political & economic movements. Private property ownership is one of the major differences between fascism & communism. However, in fascism the government controls the usage of property, land, & private businesses. Fascism perverts & corrupts capitalism, such that economic & political freedom is lost. The Fascist government can decide to seize the assets of any person or business, solely on the orders of key fascist leaders. One of the ways that Hitler & Mussolini received public support from their people was to promise to resist communism (which would have seized all private property). However, Hitler & Mussolini would have eventually gravitated towards the seizure or control of all property. As you can see, communism & fascism are vey similar, with communism being the most extreme form of socialism.

What led to Mussolini's rise to power?
Benito Mussolini, ruler of Italy from 1922 to 1945, rose to power as a result of various factors. His own indomitable ambition was one.

The heavy-handed shock-tactics of Mussolini's "Black-Shirt" followers was yet another.

Was Benito Mussolini a bad man?
He may not have been bad, but he did a lot of bad things. _____________________________________________________________________ I agree. Yet, Mussolini did something that no world leader had done before. He stopped Hitler from invading a country that he wanted to invade (Hitler's birthplace of Austria). At the time (1934, I think), the Italian Army dwarfed the German Army, and Hitler backed down. Later, Hitler acquired Austria and turned on Czechoslovakia (1938). In this case, Hitler and Mussolini played the good cop/bad cop routine, with Mussolini as the good cop. The Brits and French backed down. By WW2 Mussolini had been reduced to Hitler's junior partner, and that is how he is remembered today. Also, Mussolini did something else that has never been done before or since. He wiped out organized crime in Sicily because of a slight done to him by a Mafia don. When the Allies invaded Sicily in 1943, they turned loose all political prisoners of the Fascists, including the Mafiosos who were soon back in business. Postscript: One of Mussolini's granddaughters ran for a seat on the Italian Parliament on the Fascist Party ticket, and she won if I remember correctly.

Best known as: Italy's dictator during World War II
Known as "Il Duce" -- the Leader -- Benito Mussolini was the Fascist dictator of Italy during World War II. Benito Mussolini grew active in Italian politics in the first decade of the 1900s. He then spent time in exile in Switzerland and Austria, where he worked writing and editing socialist newspapers. He returned to Italy after serving as a rifleman in World War I and gained power and notoriety as a revolutionary nationalist. Mussolini founded the Fascist Party in 1919, used force and intimidation against political opponents, and took power in 1922, creating a dictatorship and dissolving Italy's parliament. Despite his heavy-handed tactics, he was popular with the common people for many years as he expanded government services and "made the trains run on time." Bald and blustery, he loved fancy uniforms and liked to strut and posture proudly during public appearances. In the 1930s Italy invaded Ethiopia and Albania and in 1939 Mussolini promised an alliance with Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany. But Mussolini's fall was nearly as swift as his rise: Italy's failures in the war led to Mussolini being ousted from power in 1943. He was arrested but then rescued by German troops, after which Hitler set him up as the head of government in Northern Italy. As the war ended in 1945, Mussolini tried to escape to Switzerland but was seized by Italian partisans, who shot him and then strung up his body in Milan for public display.
When World War II started, Mussolini was the Prime Minister of Fascist Italy, and as such, was the person in charge of running the Italian government (Italy also had a King at the time, but he let the Prime Minister run things). Italy was allied with Germany, and tried to take advantage of Germany's victories to gain territory for themselves. For example, Italy declared war on France on the same day that Germany captured Paris in June 1940.
However, Italy's military was not as good as the German military, nor was it as large or technologically advanced. France was actually winning in their brief war against Italy up until France was forced to surrender to Germany near the end of June 1940. When Mussolini tried to conquer Greece later in 1940, the Greek and British troops not only stopped the Italian invasion, they were actually able to invade Albania (which had been conquered by Italy just before World War II began). Germany was forced to come to Italy's aid, and helped occupy Greece. Likewise, the Italian forces in Italian East Africa (modern Ethiopia and Somalia) were pretty easily defeated and conquered by the British; and Italy's armies in Libya were being pushed around by the British until the German commander General Rommel came to help.
By the end of 1943, Italy's forces in Libya had been defeated and driven out, and the Allies had invaded Sicily and even Italy itself. Mussolini's Fascist government, the war, and the German troops helping Mussolini keep power, were all becoming extremely unpopular with Italians. In July 1943, Mussolini's own Fascist Party voted him out of power; the King then stripped him of his office and had him thrown in prison. By September of the same year, the new prime minister began negotiations for Italy to surrender and then switch over to the Allied side.
German commandos were able to pull off a raid which rescued Mussolini and brought him to northern Italy, where Germany's armies had fully seized control. This German-controlled part of northern Italy was refashioned into a new country called the "Italian Social Republic", and Mussolini was made its first and only ruler- but Germany was actually in charge, and because of this, the Social Republic started more vigorously arresting Jews to send off to the death camps (previously, the Italian government had mostly- but not entirely- resisted assisting the Holocaust). The newly free Italian Army joined the Allies against the Social Republic; anti-Fascist Italians who lived in the Social Republic also started a guerrilla war against it.
Eventually the Allies were able to defeat the German troops and the Italian Social Republic. At the end of April 1945, Mussolini finally gave up and tried to flee- he, his girlfriend, and a few other loyal Fascist leaders tried to escape to Switzerland. They were captured by Italian anti-Fascist guerrillas not far from the border. The guerrillas then killed the group, and hung their bodies at a gas station for people to spit or throw things at. It was a bad ending for an equally bad man- and this was why Adolf Hitler committed suicide and had his body burned before the Soviets could capture him a few days later.

Why did many Italians support the fascists after ww1?
I had the chance to talk with an Italian business man that lived in Italy during World War II. He fully hated the fascists, and used most of his money against it. However, many businessmen in Germany were great supporters of Hitler bringing the country out of the depression since World War I, so they struck many sorts of pacts and deals with Hitler. They benefited from Hitler.
Why did Benito Mussolini kill people?
because he tried and did rule them as a communist dictator. i guess the people didnt like that so they kill the one ruling them. heres your lesson, dont try to rule people, you just might get killed.
Usually because they can't cope properly with everyday relationships, and they control because they fear being controlled. Having said that, though, it's irrational and extremely destructive. If your partner's urge to control you is causing distress, make it clear that you won't continue to live with him (or her) on that basis. Healthy interpersonal relationships are based on mutual respect, not on power and control. There's no worthwhile future in a relationship based on power. In other words, insist that he (or she) gets the appropriate therapy if they want to continue living with you.
What African country did Benito Mussolini invade in his quest for a new roman empire?
Abyssinia But it was invaded in 1935.
On 5 December 1934, a border incident provided justification for invading Abyssinia. Italian troops were eager to join up and fulfill Italian's destiny. After the rainy season was over, Mussolini addressed a crowd in Rome on 2 Ocoter 1935 in a firey speech. The next day, Italy invaded Abyssinia with their 100,000 infantry supported by armor, aircraft and gas attacks against a force that were largely armed with old rifles and spears. Within 4 months, Abyssinia had fallen and King Selassie had fled the country. On 9 May, Mussolini again stood on the balcony of Palazzo Venezia in Rome and proclaimed that the defeat of Adowa(1896) had been avenged.
