D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930). The English philosopherBertrand Russell characterized Lawrence as a "proto-German fascist".[24] This characterization is useful as a demarcation point between fascism and proto-fascism. The former hastotalitarian uniformity as its paradigm, but Russell is referring to Lawrence as a "nonconformist prophet" struggling with individual alienation, looking to the shared identity of ancestral blood and soil for reconnection i.e. an evolution of the German 19th-centuryVölkisch movement,[25][26] an ideology that was adopted by the Nazis.
Francesco Crispi (1818–1901). The known Sicilian statesman was admired by the dictator Mussolini and considered by many scholars as a precursor of Italian fascist regime due to hisauthoritarian policies, the nationalist character, his strongman reputation, and the aggressive colonial policy implemented during his government.[28][29]
