Fascism originated in the early 20th century in Italy under Benito Mussolini. It is characterized by extreme nationalism, militarism, and authoritarian rule with no tolerance of opposition. Fascist governments reject democracy and capitalism, believing instead in a totalitarian one-party state that strictly controls all aspects of society and the economy. Strength and unity of the nation or ethnic group are emphasized over individualism. Fascism uses public displays of strength through rallies and symbols to inspire patriotism.

Considering the Evidence:
Ideologies of the Axis Powers
Even more than the Great War of 1914–1918, the Second World War was aconflict of ideas and ideologies as well as a struggle of nations and armies.
Much of the world was immensely grateful that the defeat of Italy, Germany,
and Japan discredited the ideas that underlay those regimes.Yet students of
history need to examine these ideas, however repellant they may be, to under-
stand the circumstances in which they arose and to assess their consequences.
Described variously as fascist, authoritarian, right-wing, or radically nationalist,
the ideologies of the Axis powers differed in tone and emphasis.But they shared
a repudiation of mainstream Western liberalism, born of the Enlightenment,
as well as an intense hatred of Marxist communism.The three documents that
follow provide an opportunity to define their common features and to distin-
guish among them.
Document 21.1
Mussolini on Fascism
In 1932, after ten years in power, the Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini
wrote a short article for an Italian encyclopedia outlining the political and
social ideas that informed the regime that he headed. It was an effort to pro-
vide some philosophical coherence for the various measures and policies that
had characterized the first decade of his rule. (See pp. 988–90 for background
on Italian fascism.)
■ To what ideas and historical circumstances is Mussolini reacting in this
document?
■ What is his criticism of pacifism, socialism, democracy, and liberalism?
■ How does Mussolini understand the state? What is its relationship to
individual citizens?
■ Why might these ideas have been attractive to many in Italy in the
1920s and 1930s?

Benito Mussolini
The Political and Social Doctrine of Fascism
1933
Above all, Fascism.. . believes neither in the pos-sibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus
repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism—born of a re-
nunciation of the struggle and an act of cowardice
in the face of sacrifice.War alone brings up to its
highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp
of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage
to meet it. . . .This anti-Pacifist spirit is carried by
Fascism even into the life of the individual; . . . it is
the education to combat, the acceptation of the risks
which combat implies, and a new way of life for
Italy.Thus the Fascist . . . conceives of life as duty and
struggle and conquest, life which should be high and
full, lived for oneself, but above all for others—
those who are at hand and those who are far distant,
contemporaries, and those who will come after. . . .
Fascism repudiates any universal embrace, and
in order to live worthily in the community of civ-
ilized peoples watches its contemporaries with vig-
ilant eyes. . . .
Such a conception of Life makes Fascism the
complete opposite of . . . Marxian Socialism, the ma-
terial ...

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
