Abstract
The term fascism can be applied to historical reality only as an approximation, because the differences between what are called fascist movements and regimes seem to be greater than the similarities, and leave room for many contrary interpretations (cf. de Felice, 1969; Gregor, 1974). Given this restriction the term is applied to both radical populistic mass movements, primarily of the middle classes, and, where they attained power, to the political regimes they created between the two world wars.
