Our future lies to the east and south, in Asia and Africa.

Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State... Liberalism denied the State in the interests of the particular individual Fascism reaffirms the State as the true reality of the individual.
Benito Mussolini

The struggle between the two worlds [Fascism and Democracy] can permit no compromises. The new cycle which begins with the ninth year of the Fascist regime places the alternative in even greater relief either we or they, either their ideas or ours, either our State or theirs!

Benito Mussolini

Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter's prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes' excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.

Italian journalism is free because it serves one cause and one purpose... mine!
Benito Mussolini
Image
If only we can give them faith that mountains can be moved, they will accept the illusion that mountains are moveable, and thus an illusion may become reality.

It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better.
Benito Mussolini
Image
For the Fascist, everything is the State, and nothing human or spiritual exists, much less has value, outside the State. In this sense Fascism is totalitarian.
Benito Mussolini

Democracy is a kingless regime infested by many kings who are sometimes more exclusive, tyrannical and destructive than one, even if he be a tyrant.
