“Tomorrow, Fascists and communists, both persecuted by the police, may arrive at an agreement, sinking their differences until the time comes to share the spoils. I realise that though there are no political affinities between us, there are plenty of intellectual affinities. Like them, we believe in the necessity for a centralised and unitary state, imposing an iron discipline on everyone, but with the difference that they reach this conclusion through the idea of class, we through the idea of the nation.”
Benito Mussolini
I have been saying the same thing for some time, as of course have many others. Perhaps it is time for all of us who combat illiberal creeds to revisit the founder of Fascism, he who knew it better than any.
Allan Bloom recounts a leftist rally where a speaker trotted out the usual suspects (The time to act is now!! The time for discussion had passed!!), and received continual applause until he noted the speech had been made by Mussolini.
It is farcical that people claiming to oppose fascism would don the black clothes if the ACTUAL Fascists. This is the thing: I doubt one in ten of these lunatics could give a passable account of the history of actual Fascism, or even National Socialism. They simply follow orders, and of course the Nazis did neither more nor less.
