"Fascism was the first mass-mobilizing development dictatorship that provided a frank, complete, and relatively coherent rationale for totalitarianism." Actually, Mussolini's doctrine of delayed industrialization was the first to openly affirm "the reality of production and the reality of the Nation." Contrary to any Marxist revolution, Fascism claimed nationalism and totalitarianism as part of the developmental process, and they decided to maintain the class structure as preserved as possible. What we want to do is to show how this Regime can be conceived as paradigmatic of the other Revolutions the last Century encountered. First, we will detail the historic and cognitive features of Italian Fascism. Then we will study its ideological foundations. And finally we will determinate how far Italian Fascism can be applied to the other revolutions as paradigmatic.
