Political thought

Rocco has a kind of philosophy of the history which can be expressed through the principle of the organization (when it exists, are carried out the best moments of the human society: worsen Roman, catholic culture, great official realities) or through the principle of individuality (as it is the case, the history saw its blackest moments: Protestant barbarians, movements, revolutions).

Italy, according to Rocco, succeeded in combining two principles during the Risorgimento: She arrived at the organization through the exploitation of the liberal and democratic ideas. This period is followed by the era giolittien (of Giovanni Giolitti, president of the council) which lasts until the First World War. With Fascism, one returned in an organized state: the fascistic revolution applied the etymological definition of the term: It made return the things as they were before, change with 360°, therefore return to the starting point. The fascistic revolution, according to Rocco, was thus a preserving revolution having given life to a return to the authoritative and hierarchical forms.
