Module #4 - Chapter 20

In section of Fascism form chapter 20, it talks about Fascism Alternative in Europe. The new political ideology known as racism was found between 1919 and 1945 across Europe. It educates that racism  "bitterly" praised violence to the individualism, liberalism, feminism, parliamentary democracy, and communism. Because of these ideas, it got a lot of upset people after World War l. People I middle, and upper classes felt a dire threat to the rise of socialism and communism. Some lost faith in the capacity of liberal democracy and capitalism to create a good society. It also explains that fascism alternative first took shape in Italy. It informs that Benito Mussolini came to power in 19922 by promising an alternative to both communism and ineffective democratic rule, the order in streets, end of bickering party-based politics, and maintenance of the traditional social order. His rise to power brought violence because it made people go destroy the socialist's offices and newspapers.

During my self-guided research, I  found an article titled, "What to Know About the Origins of Fascism’s Brutal Ideology" it informs its audience that Benito, "wasn’t inventing the idea of violent authoritarianism. But he put a name on a new and terrible breed of it. Under his leadership, squads of militants attacked, beat, and killed fellow Italians." This quote tells the audience fascism wasn't as bad he made it be. This man used his new breed of fascism to treat the race he hated horribly. What this article made realize was that Benito made an alliance with Hitler who used this new breed against the Jewish.
