Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Italian fascism was the work of people who studied and rejected socialism!. They thought of their ideology as the true revolutionary ideology!.

Socialism proposed that all the workers in the world would realize their common interests and unite to abolish governments and private wealth!.

Fascism proposed that the workers and the industrialists (the owners) of a single society would join forces and make the nation great!.

To produce this effect, the fascists proposed:
- abolishing labor unions that were independent of the government
- acting without thinking (really!)
- nationalizing (putting under government control) key economic functions like transportation and mining
- war as an method of creating national unityWww@QuestionHome@Com
