And it was the squad members themselves who decided to create the National Fascist Party as an armed party. That is why I say that it was not Mussolini who led fascism but that Mussolini was the one who followed fascism. And this happened until the March on Rome. The one who decided to dare an armed insurrection was not Mussolini but the secretary of the Fascist Party Michele Bianchi.

There is a phone call from October at in the morning in which Bianchi warns Mussolini that the insurrection had already begun and in which Mussolini responds Wait a little. Another confirmation of this situation occurred on June the day of the assassination of the reformist socialist leader Giacomo Matteotti. On that date when fascism seemed to collapse Bianchi wrote a letter to Mussolini in which he accused him of having always hindered the revolutionary program and reminded him that it was he and not Mussolini who unleashed the destruction of the last organizations. proletariat in August.
