Mussolini’s elevator spiel (quick and easy definition) for fascism was as follows: All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.
So, to be clear. In a fascist state, everything, the economy, the people, the land, the bureaucracy, the culture… EVERYTHING is a part of the state. There is not one thing that is not a part of the state. That is what he meant by ALL within the state, NOTHING outside the state. The state is the government and its bureaucracy which enforces government laws and regulations. Bear in mind that Italy did not have individual states at this point in time. The only government authority, outside of local police, was the federal government. States in Italy were not created until the 1970s. So, if you’re going to compare potential Trump policies/actions, for the purposes of this class, we’ll only be comparing federal actions and policies.
Most importantly, in a fascist state there is nothing AGAINST the state. Nothing. No dissent, no disagreement, no alternatives, no unapproved ideas or words, no unapproved art, music, or books.
Yes, I’m serious. All of that. Any questions?
Or,explain Why she's wrong.
