I was under the impression that most fascists weren't really true believers.

Though Hitler was, from what I know of him. But that's really the only major fascist historical figure I know much about.

Mussolini was the founder and biggest proponent of Fascism. Hitler was a convert and supporter, since it was really just a popular face for what he was already doing.

Interesting, thank you for the additional info.

I need to sit down and try and learn more about historical fascism and the different shapes it's taken at some point

Hope you have a lovely day my friend
