AS A MIND, who the hell else is there left for me to take an interest IN??
Fascism is a European inquietude. It is a way of knowing everything — history, the State, the achievement of the proletarianization of public life, a new way of knowing the phenomena of our epoch.
Fascism is a religion. The twentieth century will be known in history as the century of Fascism.
Fascism is capitalism plus murder.
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
Fascism is not in itself a new order of society. It is the future refusing to be born.
Fascism is nothing but capitalist reaction.
Fascism was a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.
Fascism, the more 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.
I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist, then it would choose the American system.
Our movement took a grip on cowardly Marxism and from it extracted the meaning of socialism. It also took from the cowardly middle-class parties their nationalism. Throwing both into the cauldron of our way of life there emerged, as clear as a crystal, the synthesis — German National Socialism.
That which the Fascists hate above all else, is intelligence.
The strategic adversary is fascism… the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.
We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.
