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.
Benito Mussolini -
I bequeath the republic to the republicans and not to the monarchists, and the work of social reform to the socialist and not to the middle class.

-
I want to make my own life a masterpiece.

Fascism denies that numbers, as such, can direct human society. It denies that numbers can govern by means of periodical consultations: It asserts the unavoidable fruitful and beneficent inequality of men who cannot be leveled by any such mechanical and extrinsic device as universal suffrage.
Benito Mussolini -
I know the Communists. I know them because some of them are my children…
Benito Mussolini -
Religion is a species of mental disease. It has always had a pathological reaction on mankind.
Benito Mussolini -
Silence is the only answer you should give to the fools. Where ignorance speaks, intelligence should not give advices.
Benito Mussolini -
In the whole negative part, we are alike. We and the Russians are against liberals, against democrats, against parliament.

The Truth Apparent, apparent to everyone's eyes who are not blinded by dogmatism, is that men are perhaps weary of liberty. They have a surfeit of it. 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 -
The Socialists ask what is our program? Our program is to smash the heads of the Socialists.
Benito Mussolini -
We assert-and on the basis of the most recent socialist literature that you cannot deny-that the real history of capitalism is only now beginning, because capitalism is not just a system of oppression; it also represents a choice of value,…
Benito Mussolini -
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.
Benito Mussolini -
Better to live a day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.
Benito Mussolini -
All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.

Three-fourths of the Italian economy, industrial and agricultural, is in the hands of the state. And if I dare to introduce to Italy state capitalism or state socialism, which is the reverse side of the medal, I will have the necessary subjective and objective conditions to do it.
Benito Mussolini -
The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity.
Benito Mussolini -
You cannot get rid of me because I am and always will be a socialist. You hate me because you still love me.
Benito Mussolini -
We do not argue with those who disagree with us, we destroy them.
Benito Mussolini -
Thirty centuries of history allow us to look with supreme pity on certain doctrines which are preached beyond the Alps by the descendants of those who were illiterate when Rome had Caesar, Virgil and Augustus.
Benito Mussolini -
What is freedom? There is no such thing as absolute freedom!
Benito Mussolini
-
Our program is simple: we wish to govern Italy. They ask us for programs but there are already too many. It is not programs that are wanting for the salvation of Italy but men and will power.
Benito Mussolini -
The socialist revolution was a pure and simple question of ‘force.’… Between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat no accord is possible. One must disappear. The weaker will be ‘eliminated.’ The class struggle is therefore a question of ‘force.’
Benito Mussolini -
I am making superhuman efforts to educate this people. When they have learnt to obey, they will believe what I tell them.
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.
