“God does not exist. Religion in science is an absurdity, in practice an immorality and in men a disease.” — Mussolini, 1924Every bit of fascist rhetoric Benito uttered (the dates indicate that all of the quotes date from his fascist era) is no different from that uttered by any communist.
“Fascism establishes the real equality of individuals before the nation… the object of the regime in the economic field is to ensure higher social justice for the whole of the Italian people… What does ‘social justice’ mean? It means work guaranteed, fair wages, decent homes; it means the possibility of continuous evolution and improvement. Nor is this enough. It means that the workers must enter more and more intimately into the productive process and share its necessary discipline… As the past century was the century of capitalist power, the twentieth century is the century of power and glory of labor.” — Mussolini, 1935
“When the war is over, in the world’s social revolution that will be followed by a more equitable distribution of the earth’s riches, due account must be kept of the sacrifices and of the discipline maintained by the Italian workers. The Fascist revolution will make another decisive step to shorten social distances.” — Mussolini, 1941
I agree 100%. Fascism, Socialism, and Communism are all LEFT-wing... No matter how they try to twist it.
In fact, this even extends to media created terms like the “alt-Right”.
Further, they have tried to conflate “Nationalism” with some kind of collectivist -ism. This does not necessarily hold true. But I digress...
