Are you a Fascist?

Twelve statements from Mussolini’s Italy, the first fascist state: its doctrine, its laws on the party, the leader, the press, work, family and race, and its wars. Say how far you agree with each one.

This is a history lesson with a score attached, not a validated psychological test. It takes about three minutes. At the end you get a percentage and the source of every statement. Nothing you answer is saved or sent anywhere.

The totalitarian statements

Your percentage by theme

On their own, these themes are weak signals. Plenty of governments have rewarded large families, controlled strikes, glorified their armies or built empires, and communist states also had one party and a cult of the leader. What made fascism different was the total state built on the nation: one party, one leader, every class folded into the state’s corporations, and no freedom outside it. That is why the totalitarian statements count for most.

Your answers and where each statement comes from

    For a properly validated measure, look at Altemeyer’s Right-Wing Authoritarianism scale, or the Left-Wing Authoritarianism Index (Costello and colleagues, 2022).
