Fascism is a simple concept. The root term comes from Fasci, a bundle of sticks. Alone, that stick will break but together in a bundle, it is strong. United we are strong.
Fascism is opportunity.
Fascism is, "What can we do to achieve our goal of united we are strong? What can we do to progress our position?"
The Nationalist believes the state is something before, during, and after the person. The Liberal believes the state as a hindrance or a necessary evil. The Fascist believes that the citizen and the state is one in the same. We are the State and the State is us. It is a living body, organic entity. What it is, and what is becomes, is tied in with where the people are, and what the people become. The character of the mass creates the reality of the state.
Fascism is action, not contemplation, and doubts. It is setting a goal and putting it to action. Grand goals, or shovel ready jobs, they must be immediately followed by action.
"Fascism was not an association of believers, but a party of action, that had need not of programs of particulars, but of an idea, that indicated a goal, and thereby a way to be followed with a resolute will- that refused to acknowledge obstacles, because it is ready to overcome them." - Giovani Gent ile
"Fascism is a party, a political doctrine. But Fascism - in so far as it is a party, a political doctrine - is before all else a total conseption of life. One cannot be a Fascist in politics and not a Fascist in school, not a Fascist in one's family, not a Fascist in one's workplace." - Gioani Gent ile
"We seek to provoke in the Italian soul an inextinguishable thirst for knowledge that is the labour and reform of the interior of humankind and the acquisition of the moral and material means for a life always more elevated, always more productive, for the individual and for the nation- in fact, for humanity... We seek the enhancement of the world because we live in it and with it." - Giovani Gent ile
