- The twentieth century undoubtedly will mainly be remembered for producing totalitarian politics. Italian Fascism was the first to give this name to the phenomenon, even though Mussolini's movement was the least 'total' of the regimes upon which the name has since been bestowed. While Mussolini wanted concentration of all power in his dictatorship, his movement was mainly concerned with Italian national causes,imperial ambitions, and Italy's international prestige. It did not put forward a doctrine of millenarian international expectations or promise the transformation of Italians - or of human society itself. That was what Nazism and Leninism did, which set them off from their contemporaries and from the political phenomena of the past.
