How was life in a democratic nation different from life under Mussolini’s rule?

It depends, some of my relatives who are now deceased had to live in fascist Italy, one or 2 others are still alive.

For schoolchildren, you had to wear a specific uniform, and there were specific classes indoctrinating you with information, and other propaganda. There would also be times, where the children would have to recite fascist songs, and march while listening to Mussolini’s speeches.

My family in Italy was mostly poor(ish) farmers in Northern Italy, and the taxes there in the local town were too high (in the 1930s.) So what did my great-grandmother decide to do? Send a letter to Mussolini complaining about it. How does he respond? Sends a letter back and lowers her taxes. True story.

Based on a party of fascist ideology, national socialism, those who provide a significant service to the state are rewarded, Mussolini encouraged women to have many kids, and I believe if you had a certain amount of children, Mussolini would personally award you with a metal.

Explanation:

About six years ago, I got to meet an Italian veteran who moved to my country after the war. I actually had talked many times with him, since he was a very lucid and kind person despite his old age, but it was then, and only by passing, that I discovered that he fought in the war.

He said that out of his 7 friends:

6 were conscripted, only one wasn't because his father had some sort of government job. One of his friends had a “debilitating disease” and he was still called.

Out of those 6, 2 died of dysentery, one lost a leg, another one had horrible burns after his ship was bombed and the remaining 2 (and himself) spent the majority of the war in a British prisoner's camp.

i believe the answer is:

-   william jennings bryan is a democrat while mckinley was a republican

at that time, the segment of population that choose for democratic party were the voters with low economic background and vice versa

- william jennings has support of populists and wants to have inflation to farmers while mckinley has support of bankers and businessmen , doesn't want inflation

the fixed value of gold make the large business able to stack up their gold without   being worried that it would devaluated.

- william jennings supported the silver standard while mckinley supported the gold standard

according to jenning, using other metal beside gold could the poor people to have more purchasing power and them advance in the society.
