Literally the opposite. Mussolini heavily inspired Hitler.
National Socialism is an offshoot of Fascism, just as Fascism is an offshoot of socialism.
Mussolini started with Marx and combined him Nietzsche (people conveniently forget Mussolini was a socialist revolutionary), and then ripped the Marxist element out from under his philosophy once he had rooted it. Hitler just took it from there.
Skip about halfway down, to 'The Garden of Fascism'.

Man, imagine if Mussolini lifted…
No, no, guys, no, they both formed independently under different circumstances but towards the same end: combating Marxism. They may be similar in some aspects, being in close range allowed maybe some interlacing between the two, but one is not the offshoot of the other.
Also, Hitler did not create National Socialism or the NSDAP, he only exploded its popularity.
Mussolini had a weight problem he tried very hard to keep under wraps but couldn't quite maintain. I guess fortunately for him, all anybody noticed was how the weight just added to the dimensions of his face, and thus image.
I just saw this now. My post is redundant, still feel like bumping anyway for chance at additional sources.
Enjoy. Jose destroys liberal ideology in one fell swoop, truly a masterpiece.
Broken link. Would attach the pdf myself but muh file size. Try this
Also Fin de siècle is interesting to read into.

Of course Plato and some other greek anti-democratic thinkers.
And then you have the usual: Alfred Rosenberg (in a way), Giovanni Gentile, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Wang Jingwei (chinese), Mussolini, Nietzsche (in a sense), Shoppenhauer, Heidegger (of course) and Spengler and even Wagner's publications.
You could argue that Georges Sorel is kinda a proto-fascist. en.wikipedia.org
Disappointed in you, Holla Forums.
Giovanni Gentile is the answer, OP
Read his work 'The Doctrine of Fascism'

Stupid question, I know, but I'll ask:
How do you bear reading big e-books (500+ pages)? I'd like to read one or 2 that interest me very much, but the sheer size of those books makes me not read them at all.
Just call his name (BEWS) a few times and he'll show up, it works :^) no really, it does. At least when a Greek thread is around.

It was 10 of them.
Alright. Thanks
