Fascism and Ideology (eBook, ePUB)

Italy, Britain, and Norway

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the struggle between the revolutionary and conservative strands found within fascism, analysing how each faction tried to influence its movement's programs, and studying the ways in which both strands fought their battles for ideological supremacy. It challenges the dominant view that fascism ought to be understood as a fully revolutionary phenomenon, arguing instead that while one can propose generic definitions of fascism, it is impossible to define it as either wholly revolutionary or wholly conservative, and the constant inner tension between radicalism/totalitarianism and conservatism/authoritarianism constitutes one of fascism's defining features.
