ABSTRACT
Julius Nyerere organized the Tanganyika African National Union, won control of the colonial legislature, and became first prime minister and then president of independent Tanzania. Consider two well–known exponents of this philosophy, from opposite ends of the continent, Leopold Senghor of Senegal and Julius Nyerere of Tanzania. The most interesting arenas in which to observe the congruence between classic fascist doctrine and practice and the political needs of emergent peoples is the Ghana of Kwame Nkrumah. The semiofficial Ghanaian Times claimed that Ghana was striving to build a "revolutionary democracy headed by a revolutionary proletariat." "Throughout the Nkrumah period, Ghanaian journalists and ideologues showed greater familiarity with the King James Version than with the works of Karl Marx." "Increasing irritation with those Ghanaian political problems which regarded as essentially provincial" led to appoint a party hack as general secretary of the Convention People's Party. In many respects, the regimes of Mussolini and Nkrumah are similar in both style and substance.
