From: Counter Revolution
$0.90
This chapter consists of a case study exploring the rise of fascism in Italy in the early 20th century. Topics discussed include an exploration of the relationship between rural class conflict and broader social and political struggles as well as the ways in which the rapid spread of capitalism aided Mussolini in his rise to power. The chapter concludes by exploring how the rise of fascism in Italy compares with the rise of fascism in the Global South in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
