🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

Totalitarianism: A form of government characterized by absolute control over all aspects of public and private life, where the distinction between fact and fiction, and between true and false, is blurred, as described by Hannah Arendt (The Origins of Totalitarianism).

Brutalisation of societies: The process by which societies become more violent and aggressive, often as a consequence of war and social upheaval, leading to the acceptance of violence as a means of political change, as noted by George L. Mosse.

Mutilated victory: The sense of betrayal and resentment felt by Italy after WWI, where the country believed it had been unfairly denied territory promised in peace treaties, fueling nationalist support for fascism.

Paramilitary groups: Armed organizations outside official military structures that use violence to influence politics. Examples include the Blackshirts in Italy and the SA in Germany, which played crucial roles in establishing totalitarian control.
