This propaganda poster from 1931 is trying to get the Italian youth to join the movement. Gioventv Fascista means young fascists. During this time, the government put a serious effort to appeal to the younger generations. I think this might be because it is easier to convince kids than adults since they are more naive. They promised big things to the kids that if they joined the movement. This particular poster literally says: Fascism does not promise honor or gains but duty and combat. Fascism emphasized war and expansion through millitaristic means. The picture shows a young drummer who probably is part of the army, and he is shown as a strong man. The government is telling kids that they too can be strong like this man if they join the fascist movement.
