 Squadrismo became an important asset for the rise of the fascist party led by Mussolini, by using violence to systematically eliminate any political parties which were opposed to Fascism.This violence was not solely an instrument in politics, but was also a vital component of squadrismo identity, which made it difficult for the movement to be tamed.This was shown in the various attempts by Mussolini to control squadrismo violence, with the Pact of Pacification, and finally with the Consolidated Public Safety Act.
