More quotes by Benito Mussolini

Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter's prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes' excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.

The state reserves the right to be the sole interpreter of the needs of society.
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
We become strong, I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look to for moral guidance.

What is freedom? There is no such thing as absolute freedom!
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.

If I advance follow me. If I retreat kill me. If I die avenge me! It is better to live one day as a lion than one-hundred years as a sheep!

Fascism is a religious conception in which man is seen in his immanent relationship with a superior law and with an objective Will that transcends the particular individual.
Benito Mussolini
Image
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.

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.

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
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.

Three cheers for war, noble and beautiful above all.
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.

Fascism is not an article for export.

Fuehrer, we are on the march! Victorious Italian troops crossed the Greco-Albanian frontier at dawn today!

Fortunately the Italian people is not habituated to eating several times a day.

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