"Mussolini himself probably did not know what he was going to do—except stay in power. A parliamentary majority backed the fascist govt at the beginning, & most of the people thought fascism was a temporary interlude... thought Italy could later return to freedom"

When the king called on Mussolini to form a government in October 1922, very few people in the world had any idea of what was meant by a totalitarian form of government. Mussolini himself probably did not know what he was going to do—except stay in power. A parliamentary majority backed the fascist government at the beginning, and most of the people thought fascism was a temporary interlude. They thought Italy could later return to freedom, and in the meantime fascism could take care of the crisis. When Mussolini stepped into power, fascism had none of the superior-race, blood-and-soil trappings that came to Germany with Hitlerism. All the other elements of fascism were there, however: belief in violence, disbelief in legal processes, rabid nationalism, and so on. But the regime was not totalitarian in its first three years. Opposition parties were still legal, a strong opposition press operated under difficulties, and Mussolini kept talking about a return to normalcy

I hope someone at @springernature.com still values #ScientificIntegrity enough to uphold the original decision of the impartial scientific committee—rather than capitulating to the biased outcome driven by a 16-month social media harassment campaign.
