FASCISM’S GROWING IN ITALY AND ANTONIO GRAMSCI’S ANTI- FASCISM STRATEGIES AND TACTICS

36404

Fascism first came to power at the end of World War I in history with the mobilization of petit bourgeois amid social, economic and political crisis in Italy. Antonio Gramsci as a socialist theoretician and politician proposed a fundamental strategy to struggle against fascism and some practical-tactical policies in line with this strategy. Gramsci’s proposals were not able to dominate over Italian Communist Party of which he was a member. Because while the Communist Party defended an alliance with the left-side against fascism, Gramsci, going beyond left-side parties, proposed to form an a broadened alliance involving nationalists and liberals. In this regard, first of all we can say that the strategies and the tactics proposed by Gramsci in struggle against fascism are not dogmatic but pragmatic. Secondly, Gramsci’s proposal toward a broadened alliance seemed functional in relation to struggle with fascism. Finally, we may contend that there is some symmetry between the strategy and tactics defended by Gramsci and politics of fascist movement while coming to power and at the first years of fascist party’s rule.
