State any two similar ideologies of the two dictators.

(1) Both rejected democracy and believed in a ONE-PARTY STATE under a single all-powerful leader whose word was law; all opposition parties, free speech and a free press were suppressed. (2) Both held that the STATE IS SUPREME and the individual exists for it, and both preached aggressive nationalism, glorifying war and military strength as the path to national greatness; both were bitterly opposed to communism.

One mark each, and the word SIMILAR governs the answer — give beliefs shared by both men. Do NOT offer racism or anti-Semitism: those were distinctively NAZI and formed no part of Italian Fascism, so they are exactly what this question is designed to catch. The safest pair is one-party dictatorship and aggressive nationalism with the supremacy of the state.
