Our future lies to the east and south, in Asia and Africa.
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.
Benito Mussolini
Image
[The Fuhrer] is one of those lonely men of the ages on whom history is not tested, but who themselves are the makers of history.
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

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.

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 only we can give them faith that mountains can be moved, they will accept the illusion that mountains are moveable, and thus an illusion may become reality.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Tomorrow, the Tripartite Pact will become an instrument of just peace between the peoples. Italians! Once more arise and be worthy of this historical hour! We shall win.
Benito Mussolini
Image
Believe, obey, fight.
Benito Mussolini
Image
You know what I think about violence. For me it is profoundly moral -more moral than compromises and transactions.
Benito Mussolini
Image
The fascist state is the corporate state.
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
As regards the Liberal doctrines, the attitude of Fascism is one of absolute opposition both in the political and in the economical field.
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
Fortunately the Italian people is not habituated to eating several times a day.
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.
