Theory of Totalitarianism in Fascist Italy

Pavel Janda
University of Bristol, United Kingdom

Koncepce totalitarismus vznikla na počátku dvacátých let v Itálii. Jejími tvůrci nebyli fašisté, kteří se později k totalitarismu hrdě hlásili, ale právě naopak odpůrci fašistického režimu. V eseji proti sobě stavím dvě pojetí teorie totalitarismu. Nejdříve se zabývám originální myšlenkou totalitarismu, která byla zformulována třemi nefašistickými italskými mysliteli a politiky. Následně přecházím k popisu fašistické koncepce totalitarismu, obsažené v pracích fašistických teoretiků a politiků.

Keywords: fašismus, totalitarismus, Mussolini, Amendola, Basso, Sturzo, Rocco

Conception of totalitarianism has emerged in Italy at the beginning of 20th in the 20th century. The creators have not been fascists, which lately proudly indetified themselves as authors, but just opposite - the anatagonists of fascist´s regime. I contrast two approaches to theory of totalitarianism in the presented essay. First I made an attempt to make explicit original idea of totalitariansim as exposed by three non-fascist thinkers and politicians. Consequently I outlined description of fascist conception of totalitarianism as exposed in works of fascists´ thinkers and politicians.

Keywords: fascism, totalitarianism, Mussolini, Amendola, Basso, Sturzo, Rocco
