Question: Today, the word "Fascism" has been used repeatedly by the media, and by politicians, to describe certain kinds of behaviors and ideas. Unfortunately, these assertions reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of what Fascism, a political philosophy unique to Italy practiced between the 1920s and 1940s, actually was. Please explain how Mussolini, the Fascist leader of Italy, defined Fascism and at least one Fascist policy practiced by his government at this time.
