Excerpt from "The Doctrin of Fascism," an essay attributed to Benito Mussolini, 1931 Fascism attacks the whole complex of democratic ideologies and rejects them both in their theoretical premises and in their applications or practical manifestations. fascism denies that the majority, through the mere fact of being a majority, can rule human societies; it denies that this majority can govern by means of a periodical consultation; it affirms the irremediable, fruitful and beneficent inequality of men, who cannot be leveled by such a mechanical and extrinsic fact as universal suffrage. By democratic regimes we mean those in which from time to time the people is given the illusion of being sovereign, while true effective sovereignty lies in other, perhaps irresponsible and secret forces. If it is admitted that the nineteenth century has been the century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy, it does not follow that the twentieth must also be the century of Liberalism, Socialism and Democracy. Political doctrines pass; peoples remain. It is to be expected that this century may be that of authority, a century of the "Right," a Fascist century. If the nineteenth was the century of the individual it may be expected that this one may be the century of "collectivism" and therefore the century of the State. The keystone of Fascist doctrine is the conception of the State, of its essence of its task, of its ends. For Fascism the State is an absolute before which individuals and groups are relative. According to this piece, Fascism can best be described as A. A source of hope following the end of WWII B. An excess of nationalism in period leading up to WWI C. Bitterness stemming from the disillusions of WWI D. Optimism after the Russian Revolution

C. Bitterness stemming from the disillusions of WWI

"There is considerable debate among historians as to Bismarck's ultimate motivations in establishing a united German empire. Some suggest that he always remained at heart a Junker and a Prussian patriot who simply concluded that, if German unification was inevitable, it was best that the Prussian kingdom play the central role and ensure the creation of a conservative empire. Having presided over unification, Bismarck, as imperial chancellor, was determined to forge an imperial national identity. If the Second Reich was to be internally cohesive, he believed, Germans would have to subordinate their regional, political and religious loyalties to a new national allegiance. During these same years, Bismarck devoted considerable energies to diplomatic affairs, with the intention of establishing a peaceful European order in which the greatest threats, in Bismarck's estimation, came from a vengeful France and from the potentially volatile Balkan, where Austria and Russian interests might well collide as the decaying Ottoman Empire declined further." —Jonathan S.

"When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class. In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all." —Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Communist Manifesto 1848 What specific economic and social conditions were Marx and Engels referring to in this selection?

Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class. In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all." —Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Communist Manifesto 1848 Marx and Engels' assertion that "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all" is an extension of what other intellectual idea?
