More from Benito Mussolini
"The State, in fact, as a true reality of the individual, is the highest form of ethical existence."
"The March on Rome was not a coup d'état. It was a revolution, prepared, organized, and executed by the Fascist Party."
"We are hungry for power and we will take it."
"Fascism is reaction. But reaction in the sense that it brings back to the Italian people the authentic traditions of Italy."
"To govern Italians is not impossible, it is merely useless."
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.
