Answer
Fascism and Nazism sought to create a society based on 'Myth'. They believed that "it is faith that moves mountains, not reason." The motto given by Mussolini to his countrymen was "to believe, to obey, to fight."
Some of the myths popularised by the Fascists and the Nazis were as under:
- The Leader is ever right.
- International peace is a coward's dream
- Imperialism is the eternal law of life.
Nazi Germany used propaganda to publicize myths and even "big lies". Hitler believed that a lie, if it is frequently repeated, will at last be believed by the masses.
