dec 11, 1914 - Fascio d'Azione Rivoluzionaria

Description:

In 1914 he formed the ‘Fasci Rivoluzionari d'Azione Internazionalista’ – an early fascist movement advocating for intervention in the war. They called themselves ‘Facisti’ or Fascists.

By 1915 he was denouncing socialism for failing to support the nation, and called for a revolutionary vanguard elite to lead society – he openly maintained he was a ‘national socialist’.

The Fascists immediately came into violent contact with the Socialists, with political violence spreading. This was exacerbated by social, political, and economic disruption during and after the war.
