Il Duce
Description
This program is devoted to the rise of Mussolini and Italian fascism; its aim is to show the roots of fascism in Italy and the execution of its seemingly laudable goals of "order" and "discipline. It shows the genuine need for reform and stability, which led to the imposition of totalitarian enforcement of order and discipline; the dawn of the Corporate State, where there are no strikes and all decisions are made in the interest of the State; how Italian youth were converted into fascist youth; and the achievement of peace with the Vatican. The obvious benefits-reducing unemployment and illiteracy-are set against the hidden costs.
