The mass, whether it be a crowd or an army, is vile.

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.

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

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

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.
