Becoming Il Duce: Mussolini's Fascist revolution | FULL DOCUMENTARY | EPISODE 1

Censorship of historical footage should be a crime. They risk contaminating valuable footage, if the censored footage get referred to by others, like it often happens, and something that is not breaking any copyright rules.

Had he kept his distance from Hitler like Franco did, he would have survived and maybe even thrived.

[@naciremasti]

Doubtful, Mussolini wanted to revive the Roman empire by conquering northern Africa. Italy didn't have the material resources or firepower to do so.

[@cindymaceda2999]

No he wouldn’t have. He was too crazy and his people saw it.

[@hughbondurant2730]

Yep

[@christopherfowler9777]

You are probably correct. He was actually the most tragic figure of that era. If he had not decided to side with the Germans, they would have over ran him, as they were on his Northern flank. Who made a calculation to save Italy and because he thought Germany was the stronger and would win the war. He actually hated Hitler. You talk about a complete no win situation, he was in one.

[@seijakarjalainen]

Was that possible though? He knew that a painter was a Goth enthusiast. They circumvented a lot US sanctions through Spain and Italy.

[@Joseph-z7s3b]

The most valuable lesson Mussolini can teach us is that no matter how big of a buffoon that someone in power may be,it does not mean that they and their minions aren't dangerous. In fact, I would argue that being buffoons might make them even more dangerous. Just my unasked for opinion...

[@georgewilkie3580]

Until this day, many Italians admire Mussolini for greatly improving the economy of Italy. He also kicked the Mafia out of Italian Life. Mussolini's government also built more Schools and Hospitals than any other Italian leader. Another huge fact is that Mussolini was No anti-Semite. In fact, a large number of German Jews escaped the Nazis by Fleeing to Italy. The Main Jewish Temple in Rome continued services throughout the War. In fact, Mussolini's mistress was a beautiful Italian-Jewish Woman. I am in no way a Fascist, but we must give the Devil his due. Mussolini indeed did accomplish some very good deeds while he reigned for 20 years. Unfortunately, at that time, democracy took a back seat. But, Mussolini did allow thousands of Jews flee the deadly grip of the Nazis. For that reason alone, Mussolini should never be compared to the NAZIS.

[@SLICE_Full_Doc]

Sources?

[@cindymaceda2999]

And he literally drained the swamp. 😂

[@CaesarRenasci]

There are plenty of sources. Only ignorant people (i.e., the vast majority today) think that fasism and natzism (racism) are the same. It was Hitler who adopted fascism, fascism adopted almost nothing from Hitler. But that's too hard for most peoole: just such everything together and call them "bad guys."

Sure look at the salute, black shirts, talking style, big infrastructure projects, armament, persecution of the opponents.

[@thomaswillcox2642]

So... What exactly is the definition of fascism? Wouldn't know by watching this documentary.

[@andresd3104]

Fascism is the system of government that cartelizes the private sector, centrally plans the economy to subsidize producers, exalts the police state as the source of order, denies fundamental rights and liberties to individuals, and makes the executive state the unlimited master of society.

[@riccardomallardo7779]

[@jettjones9889]

[@Andyyyk47]

Fantastic documentary, although a bit sparse on details.. was Mussolini successful in during this period of his dictatorship?

[@riccardomallardo7779]

Well yeah mostly, he lasted over 20 years and accomplished several goals of his

[@georgewilkie3580]

It is a Fact. Mussolini built more Schools and Hospitals than any other Italian Leader. He also greatly improved Italy's economy. Mussolini was no anti-Semite and allowed thousands of German Jews to flee the deadly grip of the NAZIS and take refuge in Italy. He also kicked the Mafia out of the Country. An interesting fact is that Mussolini's Mistress, was a beautiful Italian-Jewish Woman. Another fact, the main Jewish Temple in Rome continued to celebrate Jewish Services throughout the War. So, yes, Benito Mussolini indeed did accomplish some good for the People.

[@faveology]

​@@georgewilkie3580 Mussolini also made one of the worst decisions for his people. He got involved in WW2. How many Italians died due to his stupid decision? His decision to KNOWINGLY send an unprepared military with a lacking arms industry to war? Moreover, if your entire stance is from a nationalist perspective - and not a moral and ethical perspective (which even my former point also proves he messed up from a nationalist perspective) - then sure, he did ok. What about for all of his enemies, though? Such as the Ethiopians. He was an atrocious human being. Anyway, you also seem to lack proper understanding of economics and how his scenario worked in Italy. Mussolini NEEDED to appease the pope to some degree. He lacked absolute power (something Hitler actually had). Mussolini taking in Jews was less because he was a good guy and more to appease the pope. Remember, quite a few Italians were not fascists. They just didn't care to rebuke or fight Mussolini's rise to power. He failed to radicalize the masses. From a logical perspective, Mussolini was a failed Fascist (his definition of it anyway). Hitler achieved what Mussolini envisioned achieving. The ONLY misunderstood part of history is the radical eugenics movement of the Nazis. Many like to pin that as a Fascist thing. It wasn't. Eugenics played a minor role in Fascism. It played a MASSIVE role in Nazism.

Franco was far from being smart, most people's first hand accounts about him usually all share a picture of quite dumb, boring and pig-headed figure. Only reasons he stayed neutral, were that he simply didn't have resources for war, he was heavily dependent on anglo-american trade and Wilhelm Canaris for example persuaded him not to join the Axis and he would've been invaded by the Allies all too easily.
