Fascist Doctrines
Mussolini had three main points that he used to attacked Marxism. They were : denying idealism by subjecting human beings to economic laws, dividing the nation into warring lasses and denounced liberal democracy for promoting individual selfishness at the expense of the national community. Fascism believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. He kept on talking about if a doctrine was to be formed this would be hostile to Fascism. The main point to get from the Fascism, is that it will always believe in holiness and in heroism. Mussolini gathered some men and decided to march on Rome in 1922 to bring down the government. The government stood in its place and did not attack. The government could have easily taken down Mussolini's march but didn't.

He states that every great culture from the past was destroyed by the poisoning of the blood. To keep the culture growing it was important to preserve the human beings who created it. He even stats to discuss how people do not perish by defeat in wars, but by losing the power of resistance in their pure blood.
Hitler claims that the Jewish people are without a true culture. That anything that the Jewish have had as culture had corrupted in their own hands. The Jewish also had no contribution to architecture nor music. The Jewishness is not a matter of race but of religion.
