Differences Between Power and Authority

The difference between power and authority is that power is a capacity and authority is a skill. In this sense, power can be acquired, while authority depends on a person's ability to influence others. Power is the ability to subordinate other people or to dominate a situation. Authority is the ability to influence others without the need for them to be subordinate.

Types of Proletariat

The proletariat is distinguished from other classes such as the bourgeoisie in that it does not possess greater assets than its capacity for work, and therefore constitutes the basis of capitalist society of, as defined by Karl Marx, the "exploitation of man by man". The bourgeoisie, on the other hand, is the owner of the means of production and requires labor to generate consumer goods.

Benito Mussolini – Biography, History, Politics & Death

Benito Mussolini was an Italian political leader who established fascism in interwar Italy. He held the positions of president of the Council of Ministers of Italy (1922-1943) and leader (Duce) of the Italian Social Republic (1943-1945). His political life began in the ranks of socialism. But after going through World War I, he renounced his Marxist past, turned to the right, and became a nationalist. In 1921 he founded the National Fascist Party and the following year organized the March on Rome, which allowed him to reach power. Little by little, he was building an authoritarian regime that ended the parliamentary system, persecuted opponents, and criticized both capitalism and socialism.
