  Fascism
Both a movement and a historical phenomenon, Italian Fascism was, in many respects, an adverse reaction to both the apparent failure of laissez-faire and fear of the left, although trends in intellectual history, such as the breakdown of positivism and the general fatalism of postwar Europe should be of concern.
Despite the themes of social and economic reform in the initial Fascist manifesto of June 1919, the movement came to be supported by sections of the middle class fearful of socialism and communism, while industrialists and landowners saw it as a defence against labour militancy.
Trade unions and employers' associations were reorganized by 1934 into 22 fascist corporations combining workers and employers by economic sector, whose representatives in 1938 replaced the parliament as the "Chamber of Corporations": power continued to be vested in the Fascist Grand Council, the ruling body of the movement.

The original Fascist Manifesto contained within it a number of proposals for reforms that were also common among socialist and democratic movements and were designed to appeal to the working class.
Furthermore, the fact that fascist states, on the one hand, and the USSR and the Soviet bloc, on the other, were police states does not mean that their commonality is a product of socialism.

 Rush, Newspeak and Fascism: An exegesis: IV: Tracking Fascism

 t r u t h o u t - Henry A. Wallace | The Danger of American Fascism
A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends.
The supreme god of a fascist, to which his ends are directed, may be money or power; may be a race or a class; may be a military, clique or an economic group; or may be a culture, religion, or a political party.
With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.

 Fascist manifesto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fascist manifesto was the initial declaration of the political stance of the founders of Italian Fascism.
The Manifesto thus combined elements of contemporary democratic and progressive thought (franchise reform, labour reform, limited nationalisation, taxes on wealth and war profits) with corporatist emphasis on class collaboration (the idea of social classes existing side by side and collaborating for the sake of national interests; the opposite of the Marxist notion of class struggle).
Perhaps the greatest success of Fascist diplomacy was the Lateran Treaty of February 1929: which accepted the principle of non-interference in the affairs of the Church.

 [No title]
The fascist intellectuals, meeting in Bologna, have issued a manifesto to the intellectuals of all nations, to explain and defend the policies of the Fascist Party.
In so doing, those worthy gentlemen must have forgotten a similar famous manifesto put out at the beginning of the world war and signed by German intellectuals: a manifesto which resulted in universal disap- proval, and was later considered an error by its very authors.
In essence this manifesto is sophomoric rubbish riddled with errors, doctrinal confusion and ill-reasoned arguments.

 OurManifesto: No One Is Illegal!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This was a proto fascistic organization which was formed in 1901 specifically around the demand for controls, which organized major demonstrations in London's East End and which can legitimately be viewed as the main force behind the legislation.
Fascist front organizations such as the British Immigration Control Association subsequently continued the agitation until legislation was enacted.
This, together with the fascist origins of such laws, renders problematic the notion of "reform", as opposed to abolition, of immigration controls.

 The Dark Window: Vox Day Ponders Fascism
Quite the contrary, the manifesto was written to wrest control of the government by gaining wide popular acceptance through political compromise.
The words of the manifesto bear very little resemblance to what is meant by modern political theorists when they describe the doctrines of fascism.
Considering the very strong ties between the Catholic Church and Mussolini's fascist party during the early years of power and the Church's strong influence over him and his policies during his entire reign, your example seems to break down.

 Flunking Fascism 101
The Manifesto of the Fascist Struggle is not so well-known as the Communist Manifesto - and deservedly so, being markedly lacking in memorable phrases such as "a spectre haunting Europe" - and is not even as well-known as the Munich Manifesto of Germany's National Socialists.
In fact, one can seldom find a direct translation of the Fascist manifesto, as it is usually summarized quickly before being swept aside in favor of contorted explanations of how its socialist theoreticians, including Panunzio, Gentile and Mussolini himself, are actually right-wing extremists influenced by the Catholic Church.
It is fortuitous, then, that I happen to speak Italian, and so I present herein an original translation of The Manifesto of the Fascist Struggle, published in The People of Italy on June 6, 1919.

Fascist is not a political ideology or an international movement, just as Bolshevik was merely the name adopted by Russian socialists and was not a philosophy, and Maoist by Chinese socialists.

The public works programme included the construction of: orphanages, schools, universities, hospitals, canals, roads, railway stations and bridges.

 Mussolini: The Doctrine of Fascism [Free Republic]
Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State; and it is for the individual in so far as he coincides with the State, which is the conscience and universal will of man in his historical existence.
The Fascist State, the highest and most powerful form of personality, is a force, but a spiritual force, which takes over all the forms of the moral and intellectual life of man. It cannot therefore confine itself simply to the functions of order and supervision as Liberalism desired.
In all of these cases, the term "fascist" doesn't apply because there really is no guiding ideology except keeping a powerful ruler and his cronies in power, while Fascist exaltation of the State is ideological to the core and requires the admiring support of most of the populace to actually work.

No, I'm not referring to my occasional exaggerated use of "Fascist" as an epithet, as in "Every free country is entitled to one Fascist TV network, talk show and newspaper.
As an epithet, "Fascist," probably has its origins in the Soviet Union, where Stalin sought to distance his highly nationalistic socialism (remember his emphasis on building "socialism in one country?") from Hitler's National Socialism.
First, Fascists believed in the "primary importance of the state." [p.119] Thus, "in the Fascist Manifesto of 1932, Mussolini proclaimed: 'It is not the people who make the state but the state that makes the people.'" [pp.119-120] Few of America's conservatives or Republicans would make such a statement today.
