Believe, obey, fight.

The struggle between the two worlds [Fascism and Democracy] can permit no compromises. It's either Us or Them!
Benito Mussolini
Image
The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism is totalitarian, and the Fascist State -- a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values -- interprets, develops, and potentiates the whole life of a people.

If two irreconcilable elements are struggling with each other, the solution lies in force. There has never been any other solution in history, and there never will be.

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.

The working people are bound to their native shores.

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.

Our future lies to the east and south, in Asia and Africa.
Benito Mussolini
Image
We affirm that the true story of capitalism is now beginning, because capitalism is not a system of oppression only, but is also a selection of values, a coordination of hierarchies, a more amply developed sense of individual responsibility.
Benito Mussolini

The state reserves the right to be the sole interpreter of the needs of society.

It is my conviction that in time of war, when the cannon speaks with its powerful voice, the less we speak the better.
Benito Mussolini
Image
State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management.

We become strong, I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look to for moral guidance.

For us the national flag is a rag to be planted on a dunghill. There are only two fatherlands in the world: that of the exploited and that of the exploiters.
