I have editede the first paragraph under "Context." Some of my edits removed pieces of information which I thought to be either unnecessary or confusing. That is subject, of course, to the thoughts of others, so please check my work. LawrenceTrevallion 03:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Information

[edit]

The information in this article contained lots of small errors, and I only checked a few sentences. I've been cross-referencing it with "Italian Fascism: Its Origins and Development, Third Edition" (DeGrand, University of Nebraska Press, 2000). It might be beneficial to clarify the article's text and check its facts more thoroughly.

Bias?

[edit]

quote from current revision:

"The March on Rome was not the conquest of power which Fascism later celebrated but rather a transfer of power within the framework of the constitution, a transfer made possible by the surrender of public authorities in the face of fascist intimidation and the complicity of the bourgeoisie, who thought it would be possible to manipulate Mussolini. The latter had declared himself a member of the Manchester School in favour of free market and laissez faire economics."

First, unless the inclusion of the term 'bourgeoisie' is strictly relevant to the concept of fascism of the article, it makes the latter part of the article read like old-school marxist propaganda.

Second, unless a cite can be supplied that Mussolini was a Manchesterist and a laissez-faireist, I'm likewise going to have to assume that this is the work of a disgruntled marxist, since conflation of free marketry with fascism is a very old rhetorical sleight of hand in that camp.

I've marked that article as NPOV until this can be resolved. - Peter Bjørn Perlsø (talk) 01:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plenty of non-Marxist historians and political scientists use the terms "bourgeois" and "bourgeoisie." Marx did not invent the term, but merely adapted them to his own analysis. The terms were certainly contemporaneous during the French Revolution as a way to describe the wealthier elements of the middle class who lacked noble status. Perhaps your opinion about the terms is influenced by personal experience, but these are far from "old-school marxist propaganda," as you described.

I have been unable to find a source that can conclusively link Mussolini with the Manchester School, so I removed that statement. However, it is well documented that Mussolini placated the business and financial interests with pro-capitalist rhetoric, and the citation I provided should ease your concerns. Again, just because Mussolini said he was pro-business and laissez faire in his policies does not mean that he actually was a classical liberal.Historymike (talk) 22:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Says Mussolini was supported by "the business class" should that not be the "upper-middle classes" the "the business class" sounds like airline passengers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.153.229 (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Fascist coup d'état

[edit]

The March on Rome was a publicity stunt. Mussolini's assumption of power was entirely legal - it was not a Fascist coup d'état.122.59.213.148 (talk) 06:43, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 30 July 2024

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. There isn't any consensus. The nominator (supporter) argued that the 1919 event is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Although there weren't evidences or citations to relevant WP policies and WP:DPT like page views, e.t.c, it was opposed by a conflicting viewpoint, that March on Rome surpasses the examples of other uses by the nominator, hence, the WP:PT.

March on RomeMarch on Rome (1922) – I cannot see how Mussolini's march on Rome can be the primary topic here. Caesar and Sulla's marches inspired Mussolini. Politically all of the marches have been of great importance Traumnovelle (talk) 09:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
