It can be said that the policeman preceded the professor in history [laughter], because, if there are not hands armed with handcuffs, laws become dead letters.

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.
