Fascism is generally regarded as a uniquely Italian political phenomenon. An eclectic mish-mash of the left and the right, radicalism and conservatism, populism and technocracy, futurist modernism and Catholic traditionalism. Even thirty years after the restoration of democracy the legacy of Fascism is still felt in the Kingdom and the former Italian colonies.

Whilst there were many who took inspiration from the Italian experiment, Fascism as a distinct political movement never really took off as a political force outside of Italy.

Could Fascism have ever been a stronger influence in the wider world and what would it look like? Or is Fascism just something so embedded into Italian society that it can't be transposed to other cultures?
