Italian fascism, as established by Benito Mussolini, was based on several key tenets. These included the belief in the superiority of the state over the individual, the glorification of violence and war, the rejection of liberal democracy and socialism, and the promotion of nationalism and authoritarianism.

The main aims of fascist groups in terms of the relationship between the government and various social classes were to create a hierarchical society where the state had ultimate authority and control. Fascists sought to establish a corporatist system where different social classes, such as workers, employers, and professionals, would be organized into syndicates and represented by the state. This was intended to eliminate class conflict and create a sense of national unity and purpose.

Fascist groups also aimed to strengthen the relationship between the government and the military, as well as to promote the idea of a strong, centralized state that would exert control over all aspects of society. This included the suppression of political opposition and the use of propaganda to shape public opinion.

In terms of political ideas, fascists rejected liberal democracy and socialism. They saw liberal democracy as weak and ineffective, and believed that it led to division and chaos within society. Socialism was seen as a threat to the established social order and was vehemently opposed by fascists. Additionally, fascists rejected the idea of individual rights and freedoms, as they believed that the needs of the state should take precedence over the desires of the individual.

Overall, Italian fascism aimed to create a totalitarian state that would exert control over all aspects of society, promote national unity, and establish a hierarchical social order. This was achieved through the suppression of political opposition, the promotion of militarism and nationalism, and the rejection of liberal democracy and socialism.
