More from Benito Mussolini
"The Fascist State is not a night-watchman, but a living organism."
"It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep."
"The keystone of the Fascist doctrine is its conception of the State, of its essence, its functions, and its aims."
"We deny all the universalistic claims of the Fascist doctrine. We believe that Fascism is not for export."
"We were the first to assert that the more complicated the forms of civilization, the more restricted the freedom of the individual must become."
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.
