Peace is absurd: Fascism does not believe in it.

The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building.

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.

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

Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived in their relation to the State.

The Mediterranean will be turned into an Italian lake.

The keystone of the Fascist doctrine is its conception of the State, of its essence, its functions, and its aims. For Fascism the State is absolute, individuals and groups relative.
