Frases de Benito Mussolini

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini fue un periodista, militar, político y dictador italiano. Primer ministro del Reino de Italia con poderes dictatoriales desde 1922 hasta 1943, cuando fue depuesto y encarcelado brevemente. Escapó gracias a la ayuda de la Alemania nazi, y asumió el cargo de presidente de la República Social Italiana desde septiembre de 1943 hasta su derrocamiento en 1945, y posterior asesinato por fusilamiento. Mussolini irrumpió en la política italiana el 22 de mayo de 1922 cuando encabezó la marcha sobre Roma que impresionó al rey Víctor Manuel III, quien, asesorado por la burguesía italiana le pidió que formara un gobierno “de orden”.

Mussolini —también conocido como el Duce— pasó de ser el número 3 en el escalafón del Partido Socialista Italiano y dirigir su rotativo Avanti!, a promover el fascismo dentro de Italia. Durante su mandato estableció un régimen cuyas características fueron el nacionalismo, el militarismo y la lucha contra el liberalismo y contra el comunismo, combinadas con la estricta censura y la propaganda estatal. Mussolini se convirtió en un estrecho aliado del canciller alemán Adolf Hitler, caudillo del nazismo, sobre quien había influido. Durante su gobierno, Italia entró en la Segunda Guerra Mundial en junio de 1940, como aliada de la Alemania nazi. Tres años después, los Aliados invadieron el Reino de Italia y ocuparon la mayor parte del sur del país. En abril de 1945, trató de escapar a Suiza, pero fue capturado y fusilado, cerca del lago de Como por partisanos comunistas. Su cuerpo fue llevado a Milán, donde fue ultrajado.

“For this I have been and am a socialist.”

The accusation of inconsistency has no foundation. My conduct has always been straight in the sense of looking at the substance of things and not to the form. I adapted socialisticamente to reality. As the evolution of society belied many of the prophecies of Marx, the true socialism folded from possible to probable. The only feasible socialism socialisticamente is corporatism, confluence, balance and justice interests compared to the collective interest.
As quoted in “Soliloquy for ‘freedom’ Trimellone island”, on the Italian Island of Trimelone, journalist Ivanoe Fossani, one of the last interviews of Mussolini, March 20, 1945, from Opera omnia, vol. 32. Interview is also known as "Testament of Benito Mussolini, or Testamento di Benito Mussolini. Also published under “Mussolini confessed to the stars”, Publishing House Latinitas, Rome, 1952.

“Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes”

As quoted from Mussolini's review of Keynes' new book in Universal Aspects of Fascism, James Strachey Barnes, Williams and Norgate, London: UK, (1928) pp. 113-114

In fact, Mr. Keynes' excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.

“You cannot get rid of me because I am and always will be a socialist. You hate me because you still love me.”

“As the past century was the century of capitalist power, the twentieth century is the century of power and glory of labour.”

Four Speeches on the Corporate State, Rome, (1935) pp. 39-40. Speech delivered to the workers in Milan. Eric Jabbari, Pierre Laroque and the Welfare State in Postwar France, Oxford University Press, (2012) p. 46
Contexto: 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 labour.

“For Fascism, the growth of Empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of decadence.”

Contexto: For Fascism, the growth of Empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of decadence. Peoples which are rising, or rising again after a period of decadence, are always imperialist; any renunciation is a sign of decay and of death. Fascism is the doctrine best adapted to represent the tendencies and the a people, like the people of Italy, who are rising again after many centuries of abasement and foreign servitude. But Empire demands discipline, the coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice.

“We are fighting to impose a higher social justice.”

The others are fighting to maintain the privileges of caste and class. We are proletarian nations that rise up against the plutocrats.
