Do not confuse fascism with national socialism. It was Hitler who constantly talked about family and people. Mussolini on the other hand mentioned family only twice in the doctrine of fascism and put the state above everything else. He also stated agreement with communist economics, only disliking it's theory of class struggle.  Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity   From the doctrine of fascism 1932 by the founder of fascism. http://www.worldfuturefund.org/wffmaster/Reading/Germany/mussolini.htm
