I think to better understand why people are attracted to Fascism it is better to read about the rise of Mussolini than about the rise of Nazism.<p>Mussolini essentially was going to make Italy &quot;great again&quot;. He was a former socialist but not an internationalist. While communists promised economic justice, fascists promised a better prouder more powerful nation.<p>Today you expect wealthy people to be economically liberal but in those days many were attracted by the premises of fascism.<p>There also this classic: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ICng-KRxXJ8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ICng-KRxXJ8</a><p>A teacher creates a fascist movement to show his students how they can be duped into one.
