Metropolis by Frank Linz in 1927
• It is the future, and humans are divided into two groups: the thinkers, who make plans (but don't know how anything works), and the workers, who achieve goals (but don't have the vision). Completely separate, neither group is complete, but together they make a whole. One man from the "thinkers" dares visit the underground where the workers toil, and is astonished by what he sees...

Condition 1 of 6
• 1. The parliamentary system was dysfunctional. Because the government did not have or was unwilling to use its power to deal with the post-war debt and strikes there arose a power vacuum. The strikes led to violence. Mussolini's squadristi broke up the strikes, to the satisfaction of the middle and lower middle classes.

The Dictators
What were the conditions in Italy that allowed the
rise of fascism?
Dictatorship• Originally used for Roman magistrates during
times of emergency when they had extraordinary authority appointed with constitutional authority. Once the state of emergency or crisis passed, power authority of dictator would terminate. Currently, it refers to a government or state in which political and hence governmental power is concentrated in the hands of an individual, or ruling elite usually extraconstitutional and accompanied by an aggressive or impulsive form of decision making, a substantial if not total restriction of civil liberties and by arbitrary or despotic methods of political and social control. Specifically in Italy and Germany, exclusive control over the state in which individual interests are submitted to the will of the state at all times.
Authoritarianism
• Policy or political system characterized by unqualified and unquestioning obedience to authority. The nature of modern totalitarian dictatorships, which, as a general rule, have demanded strict obedience to authority from their citizens as opposed to individual freedom and judgment of action.
Totalitarian The ultimate or extreme degree of
dictatorship in which government exerts or attempts to exert total control over every aspect of individual and public life. Intending to integrate and harmonize the social, economic, religious, and intellectual activities of individuals and society as a whole with the political or military policies and aspirations of the state. It is a system or set of ideas which totally engulf the whole man by making the state almost synonymous with society. Usually includes systematic reign of terror to eliminate both political opposition and social dissent in general.
