Article Abstract:
A number of leaders who have failed to consolidate democracy are examined. How the consolidation of fascism was both the product of failed leaders and the success of those who understood how to recombine shards of the past into a novel, functional, and resilient present is shown by applying Lipset's idea to the seamier side of Japanese and Italian political history.
