“Never will we be able to understand our times if we naively 'think' of this system of self Government as the work of a few gangsters or the creation of a pack of criminals we call a political party. The appeal of Socialism, Fascism and communism was principally negative; they were protests against a live and let live anything goes liberalism, a spineless indifference to causes, a failure to recognize that nothing was evil enough to hate, and nothing was good enough to die for.” IfsThinkingSelfEnoughGovernmentAblePoliticalHateDiesEvilCausesPartyCreationNegativeCriminalsSocialismCommunismAppealsIndifferenceOur TimeLiberalismProtestGood EnoughFascismPacksPolitical PartiesGangstersSelf-governmentAnything GoesLive And Let LiveSpineless Author:Fulton J.

“Fascism is the most inherently evil political ideology that man has ever devised. Wherever we see even the smallest sapling of fascism growing, we should use every just, reasonable and humane method at our disposal to rip-it out by its roots and then salt the very earth wherein it grew, so that no other such thing may ever again take root. Of course, we must also take great care to ensure that during this process, we ourselves do not become fascists in the fight against fascism.” MenShouldMayUseCareEarthPoliticalFightingCoursesEvilPoliticsProcessGrowingGrewRootsMethodIdeologyReasonableFascismSaltSmallestHumaneRipFascistsPolitical IdeologySaplings Author:Derek R.

“The Fascist State lays claim to rule in the economic field no less than in others; it makes its action felt throughout the length and breadth of the country by means of its corporate, social, and educational institutions, and all the political, economic, and spiritual forces of the nation, organised in their respective associations, circulate within the State.” MeanCountryStatesActionSpiritualPoliticalReligionPoliticsForceNationsSocialFeltEducationEconomicFieldsEconomicsClaimsInstitutionsLaysEducationalCorporateLengthFascismAssociationFascistsBreadthOrganisedEducational Institutions Author:Benito Mussolini

“Under fascism, citizens retain the responsibilities of owning property, without freedom to act and without any of the advantages of ownership. Under socialism, government officials acquire all the advantages of ownership, without any of the responsibilities, since they do not hold title to the property, but merely the right to use it -- at least until the next purge. In either case, the government officials hold the economic, political and legal power of life or death over the citizens.” UseGovernmentPoliticalNextResponsibilityCasesEconomicCitizensAdvantagePropertySocialismTitlesOfficialsAcquireFascismOwnershipLife Or DeathGovernment Officials Author:Ayn Rand
“Needless to say, under either system [socialism or fascism], the inequalities of income and standard of living are greater than anything possible under a free economy -- and a man's position is determined, not by his productive ability and achievement, but by political pull and force. Under both systems, sacrifice is invoked as a magic, omnipotent solution in any crisis -- and "the public good" is the altar on which victims are immolated.” MenPoliticalForceAbilityEconomyGreaterMagicSacrificePositionAchievementSolutionsStandardsCrisisVictimDeterminedIncomeSocialismInequalityProductiveFascismAltarsStandards Of LivingOmnipotentPublic GoodFree Economy Book:The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z Source: The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z

“There is a single theme behind all our work-we must reduce population levels. Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get the kinds of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran or in Beirut. Population is a political problem.

“Fascism, in so far as it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism - born of a renunciation of struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it.” BelieveHumansWarMomentsFacesPoliticalHumanityEnergyBornStruggleSacrificePossibilityDevelopmentHighestDoctrineTensionConsiderationFascismCowardicePerpetualStampsNobilityUtilityHave CourageRenunciationPacifism Author:Benito Mussolini
