Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state's.
Benito Mussolini
Image
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.
Benito Mussolini
Image
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.
Benito Mussolini
Image
What is liberty? There is no such thing as absolute liberty!
Benito Mussolini
Image
Fascism is a religious concept.
Benito Mussolini

Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands and an infinite scorn in our hearts.
Benito Mussolini

War is the normal state of the people.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived in their relation to the State.
Benito Mussolini
Image
The state reserves the right to be the sole interpreter of the needs of society.
Benito Mussolini
Image
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.
Benito Mussolini
Image
It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better.
Benito Mussolini
Image
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.
Benito Mussolini
Image
If the 19th [century] was the century of the individual (liberalism means individualism), you may consider that this is the collective century, and therefore the century of the state.
Benito Mussolini
Image
People are tired of liberty. They have had a surfeit of it. Liberty is no longer a chaste and austere virgin.... Today's youth are moved by other slogans...Order, Hierarchy, Discipline.
Benito Mussolini
Image
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
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.
