1. How does Mussolini compare fascism with pacifism?

Fascism is better known as a type of dictatorship in which an individual rules. Some are referred to as Socialists, Communists or Fascists, but the distinction is of little consequence.

A pacifist is anyone who doesn't believe in the use of military force or any type of violence to resolve issues.

A fascist or dictator could be a pacifist externally and not be very aggressive in deploying his military, but will NEVER be a pacifist internally.

A dictator MUST use violence internally to enforce his rule.

The fascist, communist or socialist will use aggressive force or violence at home to maintain power, such as a large police force or the "secret police" (sometimes referred to as Homeland security), yet never declare war on another country.

Explanation:

Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

Pacifism is opposition to war, militarism, or violence. The word pacifism was coined by the French peace campaigner Émile Arnaud and adopted by other peace activists at the tenth Universal Peace Congress in Glasgow in 1901. A related term is ahimsa, which is a core philosophy in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
