"One good way to start talking about Fascism is that Mussolini had been a journalist and was very good with pithy slogans and turns of phrase. He called Fascism a revolution of reaction... it was billed as a return to order. The very first victims of fascism was the [political] left... Fascism is a hyper-nationalist and imperialist movement.

[Fascism] uses rhetoric of victimhood; both the leader as a victim and the nation which is victimized by an unfair international state system... victimhood is very very important to fascism.

The Revolution of Reaction is this kind of total upheaval, where lawlessness and violence become institutionalized."
