"The article analyses the relationship between populism and fascism. The author argues that fascism cannot be considered a populist ideology or a populist movement. Nevertheless, populist elements can be found in the fascist political discourse. The article analyses four points in fascist ideology and propaganda, comparing them with populist features: the appeal to the people as a form of legitimation, rural ideology, resentment against the bourgeoisie in the Tate thirties and the way Mussolini's image was represented.
