Thus Mussolini found that he could not keep alive the Chamber of Deputies, as Napoleon III had done. He wanted to limit his fight with the church to a fight against the political party of the Italian Catholics, which was dangerous to his personal regime. Instead, he has been drawn into an ideological struggle, the last thing he could have desired. He strenuously tried to maintain a free economy under the economic control of bankers and industrialists. But it collapsed under his attempt to secure political control. The "corporate state" which had been designed purely as a political instrument of personal power, suddenly assumed independent social and economic functions. In foreign politics, finally, he intended to play the traditional game of a second-class Power which aspires to first rank: always to remain the fulcrum on the balance of power. Yet ideology forced him to set himself against the West. This resulted in the loss of all Italian influence in central Europe and in the Balkans, in a new threat to Italian domination over the Adriatic, and in dependence upon a large power which is bound to prove fatal to the personal rule which is Mussolini's main aim. He has been forced to become a revolutionary by default. The collapse of bourgeois society compelled him to invent and to improvise a new structure of society, completely different and even contrary to his own intentions.
