Image
The struggle between the two worlds [Fascism and Democracy] can permit no compromises. It's either Us or Them!
Benito Mussolini
Image
One moment on the battlefield is worth a thousand years of peace.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands and an infinite scorn in our hearts.
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.

Lenin is an artist who has worked men, as other artists have worked marble or metals. But men are harder than stone and less malleable than iron. There is no masterpiece. The artist has failed. The task was superior to his capacities.

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.
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
If you acquit me, you will give me great pleasure. If you condemn me you will do me honour!
Benito Mussolini

Democracy is beautiful in theory in practice it is a fallacy.
Benito Mussolini
Image
The mass, whether it be a crowd or an army, is vile.
Benito Mussolini

For my part I prefer fifty thousand rifles to five million votes.

Statesman only talk of fate when they have blundered
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!
