Introduction 17

it uses force and violence along all kinds of methods of propaganda. It
denounces as an enemy anyone who does not comply with its ideas, even
going as far as genocide, as in the case of Nazi Germany.
The above has been just a brief description of the nature of the social
structure and political structure of fascism. But the real problem is in
identifying where the idea of fascism was born, how it then spread, came to
power, and took hold of entire nations. It is important to understand these,
because, although people think that fascism was done away with at the end of
World War II, it still rears its head in a number of forms. Fascism is not just a
political system, it is also a mentality, and even if this mentality no longer leads
to the establishment of political regimes, such as Nazi Germany, or Mussolini's
Italy, it nevertheless continues to inflict suffering on people all over the world.
So we shall now examine the roots of the fascist mentality, and how it
was able to grow in strength to the point of outraging the whole world in the

Mussolini's Fascist Party emblem and flags. A
bundle of rods bound together around an axe
is the common form of fascist emblems.
