Socialism is a fraud, a comedy, a phantom, a blackmail.

The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out.
Fascism is a religion. The twentieth century will be known in history as the century of Fascism.

The fate of nations is intimately bound up with their powers of reproduction. All nations and all empires first felt decadence gnawing at them when their birth rate fell off.
Race? It is a feeling, not a reality. Ninety-five per cent, at least. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today.... National pride has no need of the delirium of race.

A nation of spaghetti eaters cannot restore Roman civilization!
The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building.

The press of Italy is free, freer than the press of any other country, so long as it supports the regime.
Fascism is a religious concept.
Fascism is not an article for export.
Democracy is talking itself to death. The people do not know what they want; they do not know what is the best for them. There is too much foolishness, too much lost motion. I have stopped the talk and the nonsense. I am a man of action. Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. You in America will see that some day.
If only we can give them faith that mountains can be moved, they will accept the illusion that mountains are moveable, and thus an illusion may become reality.
Democratic regimes may be defined as those in which, every now and then, the people are given the illusion of being sovereign, while the true sovereignty in actual fact resides in other forces which are sometimes irresponsible and secret.

Democracy is a kingless regime infested by many kings who are sometimes more exclusive, tyrannical and destructive than one, even if he be a tyrant.
Let us have a dagger between our teeth,a bomb in our hand,and an infinite scorn in our hearts.
There is the great, silent, continuous struggle: the struggle between the State and the Individual; between the State which demands and the individual who attempts to evade such demands. Because the individual, left to himself, unless he be a saint or hero, always refuses to pay taxes, obey laws, or go to war.
The definition of fascism is The marriage of corporation and state
The history of saints is mainly the history of insane people." -Benito Mussolini (Chuck Palahniuk - Pygmy)
I've had my fill of Hitler. These conferences called by the ringing of a bell are not to my liking. The bell is rung when people call their servants. And besides, what kind of conferences are these? For five hours I am forced to listen to a monologue which is quite fruitless and boring
It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity.
We have buried the putrid corpse of liberty
Blood alone literally moves the wheels of history.
I should be pleased, I suppose, that Hitler has carried out a revolution on our lines. But they are Germans. So they will end by ruining our idea.
There is a violence that liberates, and a violence that enslaves; there is a violence that is moral and a violence that is immoral.
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 (l926) 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.
The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide; he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, life which should be high and full, lived for oneself, but not above all for others those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after.

If two irreconcilable elements are struggling with each other, the solution lies in force. There has never been any other solution in history, and there never will be.
We do not argue with those who disagree with us, we destroy them.
Fascism should rightly be called corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.
The truth is that men are tired of liberty.
I want to make my own life a masterpiece.
Peace is absurd: Fascism does not believe in it.
This is the epitaph I want on my tomb: Here lies one of the most intelligent animals who ever appeared on the face of the earth.
The Socialists ask what is our program? Our program is to smash the heads of the Socialists.
Yes, a dictator can be loved. Provided that the masses fear him at the same time. The crowd love strong men. The crowd is like a woman.
Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy.
Nessun fenomeno al mondo può impedire al sole di risorgere.
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.
People are tired of liberty. They have had a surfeit of it. Liberty is no longer a chaste and austere virgin.... Today's youth are moved by other slogans...Order, Hierarchy, Discipline.
State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management.
