Fascism is considered an action involved with the origins of time and space. Benito Mussolini believed that fascism could only be comprehended when others accumulate a spiritual attitude towards the practice. There was a great emphasis on the value of tradition, customs, and over all ruling of the social life. Fascism is intended only for believers of the idea of the spiritual state. As Gentile wrote for Mussolini, “Those who are not worthy of remaining with us—are to be expelled when discovered” (Gentile 51).

During his rule, Mussolini was the force that rendered all other past statues and activist groups. He ordered complete faithfulness to him by his followers and frustrated some because there was so much power in one person’s hands.

He insisted on developing a powerful state through force and ways of delivering intended propaganda in order to falsely and maybe unethically recruit people to empower his regime. Through group-think methods of fascism, convincing the people to be the kind of people he needed them to be and that every person was actually a part of the "revolution" of a new Italy, Mussolini pretty much tricked some people into favoring his
