Der Antifaschismus und die Ursprünge des faschistischen Totalitarismus (1923–1926)
The interpretation of Fascism as a kind of “totalitarianism” has been the subject of controversies lasting over many years. This contribution tries to consolidate our understanding of Fascist totalitarianism by discussing its interpretations by early anti-Fascism. The latter’s representatives – Liberals, Christian Democrats, Social Democrats, Socialists – grasped the “totalitarian” features of a movement before it had established as a one-party r…
« Une religion politique, avec ses monuments et ses rituels »
Mussolini 1883-1915

Der „neue Mensch“ des Faschismus Reflexionen über ein totalitäres Experiment
God's Democracy
InGod's Democracy, Emilio Gentile argues that the presidency of George W. Bush sought to alter the way religion functions in American political life. Prior to the events of 9/11, the national government operated under a civil religious regime that placed a sacred umbrella over the entire country and its leading political figures. American civil religion was not only an inclusive faith, but one that provided ample room for citizens with different …

Fascism and the Italian Road to Totalitarianism
Le silence de Hannah Arendt
Pour Hannah Arendt,le fascisme italien ne fut pas un régime totalitaire.Cette interprétation,dont l'influence a été considérable sur les études consacrées au fascisme, est soumise ici à une analyse critique.Les thèses de la philosophe sont examinées en regard des travaux disponibles à l'époque, de ceux qui furent effectivement utilisés et de son environnement intellectuel.Ce travail de déconstruction et de retour aux sources met en évidence la fr…
L'héritage fasciste entre mémoire et historiographie
L'article explique comment, à la fin de la deuxième guerre mondiale, la tendance à banaliser le fascisme a dominé dans la culture italienne. Il fut présenté comme un régime de quatre sous qui s'était effondré comme un château de cartes, avait fondu comme neige au soleil, car il n'était fondé sur rien. La conséquence la plus grave de la banalisation du fascisme fut la « défascisation rétroactive » de l'expérience fasciste et l'exclusion du problèm…
Politics as Religion
New idols
This article explores the attitudes of the Vatican and Catholic culture towards Fascism and Fascism's political religion during the pontificate of Pius XI, in the context of the Catholic church's rejection of modernity as a new epoch of paganism that took the form of political mysticism. It shows that despite the Concordat of 1929, the papacy reacted with growing alarm to the Fascist regime's 'sacralization of politics' that threatened to make Ca…
Fascisme, totalitarisme et religion politique
Cet article présente un résumé synthétique de l’interprétation que l’auteur a donné du fascisme en tant que phénomène moderne, nationaliste, révolutionnaire, anti-libéral et anti-marxiste ; une interprétation élaborée sur la base à la fois d’une recherche originale et d’une redéfinition innovante des concepts de totalitarisme et de religion politique et de leur inter-relation. Après avoir démontré l’incohérence de certaines critiques négatives qu…
Political religion
This paper is a critical survey of the debate on civil and political religions, and a reappraisal of the main issues dealing with the different views on the relationships between politics and religion, beyond the traditional experiences of the Church and State associations in the form of established religion or religious policy of the sovereign. The author give relevance to the modernity of the process of the sacralization of politics and to its …
Fascism, totalitarianism and political religion
This essay presents a synthetic account of the author's interpretation of fascism as a modern, nationalist, revolutionary, anti‐liberal and anti‐Marxist phenomenon that he has elaborated on the basis both of original research and of an innovative redefinition of the concepts of totalitarianism and political religion and their interrelationship. Having demonstrated the incoherence of some negative critiques that have given a distorted account of t…
The Struggle for Modernity
During the 20th century, Italy experienced some regrettable political developments. It was the first European nation after World War I in which a mass militia-party of revolutionary nationalism achieved power and abolished parliamentary democracy with the goal of building a totalitarian state. It was also the first in Europe to institutionalize the sacralization of politics and to celebrate officially the cult of the leader as a demi-God. These a…

The Sacralisation of politics
This article discusses the various historical and theoretical questions that characterise the relationship between religion and politics, and religion and totalitarianism. Given the complexity of this relationship, it limits itself to examining only certain aspects of it. In the first instance, it defines the concepts of the sacralisation of politics and totalitarianism, and examines only those aspects of the latter that connect it directly with …
Mussolini's charisma
Mussolini was the prototype of twentieth-century charismatic dictators. His personal charisma antedated the founding of Fascism and the formal construction of collective charisma through the movement and the personality cult. First forged in the socialist movement, Mussolini's charisma assumed a new guise when he became a supporter of Italy's intervention in the First World War. He acquired an aura for the third time as Fascist leader. There were…
The Struggle for Modernity
During the last two years of the nineteenth century, Italy underwent a serious economic, social and political crisis, which seemed to threaten the existence and progress of a liberal democracy in the making. In spring 1898, while Italian public opinion was deeply immersed in the Dreyfus Affair, the government used military force to suppress widespread popular protest which culminated in violent rioting, during which more than a hundred demonstrat…
Renzo De Felice
On 25 May 1996, Renzo De Felice died at his home in Rome, finally succumbing to an illness which had plagued him for many years. He was 67. In accordance with his wishes, there were no funeral ceremonies, neither religious nor civil. His funeral was strictly private, attended by only a few friends. Its simplicity and reserve were in sharp contrast to the public attention generated by the news of his death. Messages of condolence poured in from th…
Impending Modernity
The fascist portrayal of the United States in the interwar period followed a parabolic trajectory. From a casual interest in the regime's early years there followed, in the second half of the 1920s, a growing curiosity. But it was above all in the following decade, and especially as a result of the 1929 crash and the coming of the New Deal, that interest in American politics, culture and society on the part of various intellectuals, writers, men …
Fascism as Political Religion
In modern society, secularization has not produced a definitive separation between the spheres of religion and politics. With the development of mass politics, the boundaries between these two spheres have often become confused, and on these occasions politics has assumed its own religious dimension. At the same time as this process of secularization within both the state and society, there has also been a 'sacralization of politics', which reach…
Le rôle du parti dans le laboratoire totalitaire italien
Le parti fasciste a dominé la politique italienne pendant vingt ans. En 1942, l'année qui précède la fin du fascisme, 27 millions d'Italiens, soit 60 % des habitants du pays, se trouvaient encadrés dans le PNF et dans les organisations qui en dépendent. De 1922 à 1943, l'Italie fut transformée en ' un vaste laboratoire humain ', où le parti fasciste tenta de réaliser un projet de société hiérarchique militarisée, destiné à intégrer les individus …

Fascism in Italian Historiography
During the last two decades there has been a great interest in the study of fascism indeed within Italy it has become one of the most productive fields of historical research. In 1976 the editors of the Journal of Contemporary History, publishing a second special issue on fascism after ten years, observed: 'The field of Italian fascism has perhaps registered the most spectacular progress during the past decade'. 1 The historiographical output in …
Fascism and the Italian Road to Totalitarianism
The Problem of the Party in Italian Fascism
From its foundation until the fall of the 'regime', the party posed a problem for fascism that gave rise to continual discussion, polemics, and at times head-on collisions between the supporters of different ideologies within the movement. In 1921, the proposal to turn the Fasci di combattimento 'movement' into a 'party' had already provoked a serious rupture between the fascist groups, a rupture that was healed only superficially by the Rome Con…
