Overview
“The Doctrine of Fascism” (Italian: “La dottrina del fascismo”) is an essay attributed to Benito Mussolini. In truth, the first part of the essay, entitled “Idee Fondamentali” (Italian for “Fundamental Ideas”) was written by philosopher Giovanni Gentile, while only the second part (“Dottrina politica e sociale”) is the work of Mussolini himself.
It was first published in the Enciclopedia Italiana of 1932, as the first section of a lengthy entry on “Fascismo” (Italian for Fascism).
The entire entry on Fascism spans pages 847â??884 of the Enciclopedia Italiana, and includes numerous photographs and graphic images. The Mussolini entry starts on page 847 and ends on 851 with the credit line “Benito Mussolini.” All subsequent translations of “The Doctrine of Fascism” are from this work.
A key concept of the Mussolini essay was that fascism was a rejection of previous models: “Granted that the 19th century was the century of marxism, liberalism, democracy, this does not mean that the 20th century must also be the century of marxism, liberalism, democracy. Political doctrines pass; nations remain. We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the Right, a Fascist century. If the 19th century was the century of the individual (liberalism implies individualism) we are free to believe that this is the ‘collective’ century, and therefore the century of the State.”
