Who Went Wrong
Mussolini was once a Socialist-editor of the official_daily-hope of the Left. What happened to him? This article, by "The Man Who Knew Musso," is written for us by an Italian diplomat and Socialist who knew Mussolini and watched the change happen.
On November 25, 1914, Mussolini was expelled from the Italian Socialist Party.
It is a date which counts for something in the history of Italy. On the evening of that stormy meeting, Musso- lini uttered the words which he thought would express the feelings of the Socialist masses: “Voi mi odiate perche ancora mi amate (You hate me because you still love me)."
Then he disappeared from the hall and from that moment begins the struggle he has al- ways waged since against his former comrades, against the Socialist Party, against the newspaper he, had edited, and, above all, against Socialism.
Ten days before his expul- sion Mussolini had produced the first issue of a new paper. Il Popolo d'Italia, which still hardily printed under its title the words "A Socialist daily." It was a puzzle what those words could mean. Until a few weeks before, Mussolini had been the editor of the of ficial Socialist daily, Avanti!, and until September he had written the
most violent leaders against the war.
There is no use to repeat now the well established fnet that French money accounted for the Popolo d'Italia. Every- body knows it, and scandals are no longer of any good. But what is still worth inves- tigating is the man Mussolini himself on the threshold of his betrayal..
*

All that. Mussolini had to say after his expulsion from the Socialist Party was: "I felt lighter, fresher, I was free."
In those words. Mussolini was sincere. It is also all he

could say, for the Party never existed for him as something different or separated from his prominent ego. Mussolini is not the man who can feel the bonds uniting a member to a political body; least of all the link which forms the strength and power of any Socialist Party. Mussolini has always had the temperament of an adventurel.
Biographers at this point speak of Nietzsche or Sorel. Mussolini's vanity was greatly pleased when Elizabeth Foers- ter Nietzsche loudly acclaim- ed him, in the early years of his rule, as the embodiment of her brother's idea of The Superman. But it would be too much of an honour paid to Mussolini to assert that he is the disciple of either Neitz- sche or Sorel.
That is too easy a way to ex- plain Mussolini; and, of course, it is the way chosen by all his defenders. How beau- tifully does this theory fit in with the compulsory enthusi- asms of the propagandists! Mussolini, the new Superman "beyond good and evil," in a struggle with everybody and everything, trying to create in the reality his artistic and moral idea!! The articles al- most write themselves,
*
But truth is much simpler. Let me picture Mussolini as he was at that basic moment of his life, when the war came to arouse his lust for power. He had belonged to the Social- ist Party for twelve years, of course to its revolutionary wing. He was the editor of the official Socialist daily, he had a certain following among the masses, his oratory was ef- fective at meetings in the piazzas. He might have tried to play his cards as a revolu- tionary, and prepare for the Italian Socialist rising.
But there is what was wrong
with Mussolini. Ho
did not want in the least to start a revolution. He did not know what a revolution is. His socialism is perfectly non- existent from a doctrinal point of view. When the editor- ship of the Avanti! was offered him in 1912, after the defeat at a Party Congress of the moderate wing headed by Turati and Treves, he hesit- ated to accept it. The insist- ence of Angelica Balabanoff only mado up his mind for him because ho believed her help would outweigh the in- sufficiency of his Socialist knowledge. So he risked, it; for he needed a success. In order to have the masses in his hands.
That, is the only real gift ho posseser, to know how to handle the
masses, not for their own' benefit but for his” personal, ends, The masses are nothing for him but a necessary/ man-power to be
driven, where he likes.

Hi, you! What's the kalian fur "friendly co-operation "'?
I know Mussolini well and can still see him as he was on that evening when he bade farewell to the Socialist Party. I can also remember well in his early career. the so-called socialist part of his life. Mussolini wanted above all to expand his personality and satisfy his lust for power. He was the son of a blacksmith; his father was an internationalist; socialkont in the early years of the century was the only creed he could im agine he held. Naturally, he ad- hered to the revolutionary wing. but only because of exosperation. He hated the rich--the bourgeols. That is all that can be called "the socialism of Mussolini," Nothing never read Marx, and all he knows of Marxism in it. He probably is some propaganda pamphlets.
But one thing he loves: violence. I do not want to imply that Mus-
is solini
courageous, Angellen Balabanoff says he is not, and she in probably right. But the violence he loves is that violence which forms the ideal of an exasperated individualist. It ly this trendi which may lead us to explain s
career.
*
Fascisin is Mussolini, and So- cialism could never give him what it could. War was for Mussolini the opportunity to set free his worse and more genuine senti- ments. It was a mument. He felt that, and betrayed his Party with the light conscience of a man who does not.even realise the vile action he is doing..
He went away with hatred in his heart, and it was in the Popoto d'Italia that Mussolin! showed what he
was really like. He started an abominable personal campaign against his ex-comrades. Never expect fair play from Mussolini; nothing but his ego exists for him.
те
A near friend of mine whu followed Mussolini very closely in his early Fascist career told me that Mussolini never forgot, the fact that he was not Invited to the house of Filippo Turati and Anna Kullsetoff, which was a sort of
for Italian Socialists. that is true and very probably it is true-that is another evidence of the nature of Mussolini's ideals. All his feelings дге negative. Mussolini cannot love. Or he loves negative Ideals, such as war or violence. He te sincere in his anti-bourgeois feelings, but here, too, is a purely negative paint of view-hatred for, and revenge on a political class from which fo was by birth excluded.
Mussolini
an individualist, who thought that Socialism was the way to satisfy his ambitions and selfish Ideals. After a short ་་ experience he found that he was .mistaken. War gave him his chance. He took it with the glee of an adventurer who feels that the moment that passes may be his moment,
*
Then, bla ond was clear. The man was free to follow his worse Instincts.
Same few days before he was assassinated, the noble Italian So- cialist, Matteotti, said to me theso words: "You know, even when I have to speak at the House and to answer him, I cannot look Mus solin in the face.. The man physically revolts me.",
As so often, Matteotti was right, I can still hear his clear voice, and I am sure that these words of Matteotti will be the final sentence which Italy will pass on Mussolini.

Much of the success is due to the producer, Charles Thom, but it is fair to say that, despite his apprecia- tive direction, the performance would not have been what it was without the good team work shown by the
