Class collaboration is one of the main pillars of social architecture in Fascism. In the words of
Benito Mussolini, fascism "affirms the irremediable, fruitful and beneficent inequality of men."
[2] Given this premise, fascists conclude that the preservation of social hierarchy is in the interests of all classes, and therefore all classes should
collaborate in its defense. Both the lower and the higher classes should accept their roles and perform their respective duties.
In fascist thought, the principle of class collaboration is combined with strong
nationalism. The stability and the prosperity of the nation was seen as the ultimate purpose of collaboration between classes.
