Fascism: Some Quotations Benito Mussolini (Italy): Fascism is "organized, centralized, authoritarian democracy" Benito Mussolini (Italy): Fascism is Nationalism plus Futurism Alfredo Rocco (Italy): Fascism is Action plus Sentiment plus Theory Alfredo Rocco (Italy): "Each society ... exists in the unity of both its biological and its social contents. Socially considered it is a fraction of the human species endowed with unity of organization for the attainment of the peculiar ends of the species." Vidkun Quisling (Norway): "It is also my conviction that, when we recognize the profound truths of the historic past as well as the historic present, and see the great things accomplished by people of Nordic race from the beginning of history until our own day, when they are more powerful than ever before; and when, at the same time, we are convinced that the Divine Will is revealed in the historical course of world development, we must, without under-estimating the importance and contribution of others, be permitted to believe in the continued historical and divine mission of the Nordic peoples in the world." Corneliu Codreaneau (Romania): "I believe in one and undivided Romanian State, from the Nisru [river] to the Tisa [river], including all Romanians and only Romanians, hardworking, honest, and God-fearing, ever aware of the land and its people. Giver of equal rights, civil and political, to men and to women. Protector of the family ... And in a great and powerful 'father of the workers' ... I await the revival of national consciousness unto the last shepherd and the descent of the enlightened in the midst of the weary, to strengthen them and help them in true brotherhood, the challenge of the Romania of tomorrow. Amen." Corneliu Codreaneau (Romania): "From this legionary school a new man must appear, a man with heroic qualities. A giant in our history, who will fight and win against all the enemies of the Fatherland, his struggle and his victory extending beyond, to the invisible enemies, to the power of evil. The finest souls that our minds can conceive, the proudest, tallest, straightest, strongest, cleverest, cleanest, bravest, and most hardworking that our race can produce." Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera (Spain): "The Patria is a total unity, in which all individuals and classes are integrated... The Patria is a transcendent synthesis, with own goals to fulfill; and we want this movement of today, and the state which it creates, to be an efficient, authoritarian instrument of an indisputable unity, of that permanent unity, of the irrevocable unity that is the Patria." Leon Degrelle (Belgium): "We are the true democrats... Rex is the realm of total souls, which do not bargain, which march straight ahead, certain of the road. This is the true Rexist miracle; this faith, this unspoiled, burning confidence, this complete lack of selfishness and individualism, this tension of the whole being towards the service--however ungrateful, no matter where, no matter how-- of a cause which transcends the individual, demanding all, promising nothing"
