Quote

I owe most to Georges Sorel. This master of syndicalism by his rough theories of revolutionary tactics has contributed most to form the discipline, energy and power of the fascist cohorts.

The fascist state is the corporate state.

Statesman only talk of fate when they have blundered

At every hour of every day, I can tell you on which page of which book each school child in Italy is studying.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.

I am not a collector of deserts!

Youth is a malady of which one becomes cured a little every day.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Liberty is no longer the virgin, chaste and severe, to be fought for ... we have buried the putrid corpse of liberty ... the Italian people are a race of sheep.

I've had my fill of Hitler. These conferences called by the ringing of a bell are not to my liking. The bell is rung when people call their servants. And besides, what kind of conferences are these? For five hours I am forced to listen to a monologue which is quite fruitless and boring
Benito Mussolini

There is the great, silent, continuous struggle: the struggle between the State and the Individual between the State which demands and the individual who attempts to evade such demands. Because the individual, left to himself, unless he be a saint or hero, always refuses to pay taxes, obey laws, or go to war.

Every anarchist is a baffled dictator.
Benito Mussolini

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
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.
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
Image
What the proletariat needs is a bath of blood.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state's.
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
Image
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
Image
The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, life which should be high and full, lived for oneself, but not above all for others those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after.

It is my conviction that in time of war, when the cannon speaks with its powerful voice, the less we speak the better.
