Right, that bothered me, so I've looked at a few things and from what I can make out, the railway program that Mussolini claimed credit for, was actually started and nearly completed before he came to power. It was in a terrible state after WW1 so these repairs were very necessary. However, I can well believe that his government kept the unions in check - what kind of fascists are unable to deal with unions?
