Did fascist, totalitarian, and authoritarian governments refer to their own governments as fascist, totalitarian, and authoritarian?

We learn in school about these types of governments and with them, the negative connotations associated with them. Did Mussolini refer to his government as fascist or did the italians have another name for it with a more positive light on it?

The Italian fascists did call themselves fascists, but they originated the term so it didn't have the negative connotations it does now, though considering their ideology it was kind of inevitable.
