ABSTRACT
Ledeen: What do you think about the relationship between fascism, which followed on the heels of World War I, and the political forces of prefascist society? I would specifically like to hear what you have to say about the thesis according to which fascism was a movement for the defense of traditional Italy, or of the industrial class against the presumed revolutionary menace from the Left. Who made the fascist rise to power easier, aside from the strategy of Giolitti and trasformismo? How did the fascists manage to arrive at the seat of power in Italy?
