Benito Mussolini

Benito Mussolini

Benito Mussolini
“These blind slaves are told they are “free” and “highly educated” even as they march behind signs that would cause any medieval peasant to run screaming away from them in panic-stricken terror. The symbols that modern man embraces with the naive trust of an infant would be tantamount to billboards reading, ‘This way to your death and enslavement,’ to the understanding of the traditional peasant of antiquity”
- Michael A. Hoffman II, Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare
"Every anarchist is a baffled dictator"
Benito Mussolini
"Fascism is a religious concept"

Martin Luther King Jr.
"Understand that all battles are waged on an unconscious level before they are begun on the conscious one, and this battle is no different. The power structure wishes us to believe that the only options available are those which they present to us, we know this is simply not true, and therefore we must redefine the terrain of this conflict, and clearly, it is a conflict of worldviews and agendas."
Teresa Stover
"Democracy is the name we give the people whenever we need them."
Marquis de Flers Robert and Arman de Caillavet

George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
"In democracy it's your vote that counts; In feudalism it's your count that votes."
Mogens Jallberg
"A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election."
Bill Vaughan
"Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half the time."
E. B. White (1899 - 1985), New Yorker, July 3, 1944
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.
Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.”
- Edward Bernays, Propaganda
"The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance to do something stupid."
Art Spander
"Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right."
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
"The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting."
Charles Bukowski (1920 - 1994)
Democracy vs Freedom"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), Hansard, November 11, 1947
"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide."
John Adams (1735 - 1826), Letter, April 15, 1814
"The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
"Democracy encourages the majority to decide things about which the majority is blissfully ignorant."
John Simon
"A country which proposes to make use of modern war as an instrument of policy must possess a highly centralized, all-powerful executive, hence the absurdity of talking about the defense of democracy by force of arms. A democracy which makes or effectively prepares for modern scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic."
Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
"Real liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of democracy."
Alexander Hamilton
"Demoracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. "
Samuel Adams
