More from Benito Mussolini
"Socialism is a fraud, a comedy, a phantom, a blackmail."
"The Fascist State expresses the will to exercise power and to command."
"Race? It is a feeling, not a reality. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today."
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
"The crowd is like a woman. It is not necessary to persuade them, it is necessary to rape them."
About Benito Mussolini (1883-1945)
Italian fascist who founded the National Fascist Party in 1919 and ruled Italy 1922-1943, before being executed by partisans in April 1945. Closely associated with Adolf Hitler (Axis ally and ideological successor) and Francisco Franco (Spanish authoritarian and ideological cousin). For an intellectual contrast, see Antonio Gramsci, Italian Marxist intellectual and Communist Party founder — Gramsci's Prison Notebooks — written 1929-1935 inside Mussolini's prisons — became the foundational text of cultural-hegemony theory. The cleanest 'fascist regime vs intellectual it imprisoned' pairing in 20th-century history; Gramsci developed his analysis of how fascism wins through cultural consent while dying in Mussolini's custody.
