Disillusioned individuals strive for superiority and dominance to compensate for feelings of inferiority.
Mussolini's rhetoric and the fascist ideology became the method, ideology, and identity for individuals struggling with feelings of fragmentation and alienation. With the nation struggling with the aftermath of World War I and feeling a sense of diminished status on the world stage... this unfortunately created an environment for hate to thrive... as people wrongfully believed it to be their method of liberation
Samuél, I am learning so much from this series. Can’t wait for part three. Certainly, there are parallels to our time - and in the US’s weird red-hat MAGA movement. Why must bad clothing choices be part of fascism?
Wonderful essay!
