>>108584030fascism isn't about the kill count, but being sure all opposition know the "OR ELSE" of they "obey me OR ELSE" politics. People voted mussolini because they knew that if somebody knew you voted something else, you could be in the same state as the communist that got beaten ups and were shown all over the news.
This is why nazism and fascism are separate. hitler got elected on "good faith", Mussolini was more about saving your ass from the gangs.
