[lbo-talk] Italian fascism query [was: How flame wars start]

[Jim Devine]

Leigh: >The term [fascism] was applied by Mussolini to his movement
after his rise to power in 1922. The Fascists were viciously
anti-Communist and anti- liberal and, once in power, relied on an
authoritarian state apparatus. They also used emotive slogans and old
prejudices (FOR EXAMPLE (emphasis mine), against the Jews) to bolster
the leader's strongman appeal.<

I don't know much about Italian history. Did Italian fascism involve
anti-Jewish bigotry in a significant way before Mussolini became
subordinated to Hitler?
