You know what I think about violence. For me it is profoundly moral -more moral than compromises and transactions.
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.
Benito Mussolini

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
It is not impossible to rule Italians, but it would be useless.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Three cheers for the war. Three cheers for Italy's war and three cheers for war in general. Peace is hence absurd or rather a pause in war.
