Ep. 314
“The Doctrine of Fascism” explicates the core tenets of Fascist ideology. It presents Fascism as both action-oriented and deeply philosophical, emphasizing a spiritual and ethical vision of life rooted in duty and sacrifice. Mussolini outlines Fascism’s rejection of materialism, individualism, and traditional political ideologies like socialism, democracy, and liberalism. The doctrine stresses the importance of the State as an absolute entity, prioritizing its interests above individual rights and liberties. War and imperialism are glorified as expressions of national vitality, while authority, order, and discipline are championed as essential values. Ultimately, the text positions Fascism as a revolutionary force, uniquely suited to address the challenges of the 20th century and guide humanity toward a new era.
