The Socialist POCKET CARTOON

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- Hini attered the words which he thought would express the feelings of the Socialist masses: "Voi mi odiate perche ancora mi amate (You hate because you still love

me 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 mosi violent written the leaders against the war.

There is no use to repent now the well established fact 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 these 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 adventurer.

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 prid to Mussolini to assert that he is the disciple of either Neitz- sche or Sorel.

of

That is too easy a way to ex-. Mussolini: and, plain 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 ideal! 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 nicetings in the piazzas. He might have tried to play his cards as a revolu- tionary, and prepare for the Italian Socialist rising.

Way

But there is what 'wrong with Mussolini. He 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 foint 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 made up his mind for him because he 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.

AT

Hi, you! What's the Italian for "friendly co-operation **?

I know Mussalini 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 socfallst part of his He. Mussolini wanted above all to expand his personality and satisfy his lust for power. He was the son of a blacksmith; his father was on internationalist; socialism in the early years of the century was the only creed he could im- held. Naturally, he ad- agine he

the revolutionary wing hered to but only because of exasperation. He hated the rich the bourgcols. That is all that can be called "the socialism of Mussolini." Nothing of Murxism in i He probably never read, Marx, and all he knows Is some propaganda pamphlets.

But one thing he loves: violence, I do not want to imply that Mus- sollni is courageous. Angelica Balabanoff says he is not, and she In probably right. But the violence he loves is that violence which forms the fleat of an exasperated individualist. It this threed which may lead us to explain his career.

Fascism is Mussolini, and So- cialism could never give him what it could. Wor was for Mussolini the opportunity to set free his worse and more genuine senti- ments. It was his moment. 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 Popola d'Italia that Mussolint 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.

A near friend of mine who followed Mussolint very closely in his early Fascist corear told me that Mussolini never forgot the fact that he was not invited to the house of Filippo Turati and Annu Kullsetoff, which was a sort of "salon" for Italian Socialists. If that is true and very probably it is true that is another evidenco of the nature of Mussolint's Ideals. All his feelings are

Then, his rond was clear. The man was free to follow his worse Instincts.

Some few days before he was assassinated, the noble Italian So- clalist, Matteotti, said to me, these words: "You know, even when I have to speak at the House and to answer him, I cannot look Mus- solint in the face. The than physically revolts. me,"

That the only real gift ha possesses, to know how to handle the masses, not for their ownAs so often, Matteotti was right, benefit but for his personal ends.
