Benito Mussolini
Image
Democratic regimes may be defined as those in which, every now and then, the people are given the illusion of being sovereign, while the true sovereignty in actual fact resides in other forces which are sometimes irresponsible and secret.
Benito Mussolini

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

The struggle between the two worlds [Fascism and Democracy] can permit no compromises. It's either Us or Them!
Benito Mussolini
