Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / The purpose of this dissertation, stated in the first chapter, is to examine the recent interpretations of Plato's social philosophy as fascistic and to determine the validity of these interpretations relative to the whole structure of Plato's social thought. The term "recent" refers broadly to the period extending from the close of World War I to the close of World War II. The second chapter presents an exegesis of Plato's Doctrine of Justice as the key to a general understanding of his social and political perspective. It is pointed out that what he has to say about psychology and anthropology represents a microcosmic picture of what he believes about politics and sociology. His aim to achieve harmony in the individual soul is matched by his desire to bring unity to the political community. The latter is not only patterned after the former but, as a social ideal, it is also derived from it and dependent on it. The ideal State comes into being and social justice is established when the rulers bring harmony to their souls by the rule of reason and each individual is assigned to the task for which he is best suited. Thus, the Doctrine of Justice presents political as well as psychological facets germane to the evaluation of Plato's social philosophy and the attacks made against it [TRUNCATED]

Master of Arts / Department of History / Donald J. Mrozek / In the fall of 1934 Major General Smedley Butler, U.S.M.C. (ret.) testified before Congress that he had been approached by a representative of a cabal of wealthy Wall Street bankers, powerful industrial magnates, and shady political operatives to lead a fascist coup to overthrow the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Congress investigated Butler’s allegations of a conspiracy against the government and deemed them to be true. The American news media, however, was noticeably divided in the nature of their coverage of the congressional investigation. Previous historians have claimed that elements of the American news media were markedly sympathetic toward fascism in the United States during the 1930s. An analysis of the newspaper coverage of this investigation reveals a stark contrast between ways in which media outlets headed by individuals suspected of fascist sympathies portrayed the story as opposed to media outlets known to be editorially anti-fascist. These findings lend credence to previous historians’ claims about identifiably pro-fascist strains in the American media during the time in question.

Le problème du sort des Juifs en Italie est sans doute l'un des aspects les plus tragiques du totalitarisme fasciste. Depuis une vingtaine d'années, l'historiographie antisémite s'est grandement étoffée, s'attachant au fur et à mesure davantage aux caractères spécifiques du fascisme italien. L'étude entreprise dans cette thèse se place dans une perspective d'histoire politique et culturelle, puisqu'il s'agira de mettre à jour, à travers l'étude de la propagande, les caractéristiques du fascisme italien, afin de saisir la nature et la fonction du racisme et de l'antisémitisme en Italie. Les sources principales sur lesquelles se basent notre recherche sont trois quotidiens nationaux publiés à Milan. De par leur notoriété, mais surtout leur engagement quotidien à représenter les Juifs et les peuples colonisés comme une réalité stéréotypée et méprisable, ils furent en première ligne dans la dynamique de persécution. Laboratoire de la doctrine raciale, manuel pédagogique, terrain d'investigation sur la présence des Juifs en Italie, rouage de l'administration policière, ils ont largement contribué à l'élaboration d'une culture raciste et antisémite qui relançait le débat sur les valeurs de l'identité nationale. / The problem of the fate of the Jews in Italy is doubtless one of the most tragic aspects of the fascist totalitarianism. Since about twenty years, anti-Semitic historiography has greatly expanded, focusing on progressively more to the specific characteristics of Italian fascism. The study undertaken in this thesis is placed in a context of political and cultural history, since it will be to update, through the study of propaganda, the characteristics of Italian fascism to understand the nature and function of racism and anti-Semitism in Italy. The main sources on which to base our research are three national daily newspapers published in Milan. Of their celebrity, but also their daily commitment to represent the Jews and the colonized peoples as a stereotypical reality and despicable, they were at the forefront of the dynamics of persecution. Racial doctrine laboratory, teaching manual, field of investigation on the presence of Jews in Italy, train of the police administration, they have greatly contributed to the development of a culture of racism and anti-Semite who relaunched the debate on values of national identity.
