The struggle between the two worlds [Fascism and Democracy] can permit no compromises. It's either Us or Them!

Fascism is definitely and absolutely opposed to the doctrines of liberalism, both in the political and economic sphere.

Fascism recognises the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade-unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which diverent interests are coordinated and harmonised in the unity of the State.

We will have no truck with Fascism in any way, in any shape or manner. We will permit no vestige of Fascism to remain.

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.

Neither Italian fascism nor German national "socialism" have anything in common with such a [Soviet socialistic] society, primarily because private ownership of factories, plants, lands, banks, means of transportation, etc., remain untouched there, and, therefore, capitalism in Germany and Italy remains in full force.
