Fascist organizations were extremely violent, and used “punitive expeditions” against worker associations and socialists to restore the control of landowners in the countryside. These antisocialist actions gained the approval and support of many conservatives, especially because of the perceived impasse created by Prime Minister Giolitti’s policy of neutrality in labor disputes, which was thought to have strengthened workers and the Socialist Party (De Felice 1966).
