"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini
(1883 – 1945), Italian politician who led the National Fascist Party, ruling the country from 1922 to his ousting in 1943, and is credited with being one of the key figures in the creation of fascism.
Originally a member of the Italian Socialist Party and editor of the Avanti! from 1912 to 1914, Mussolini fought in World War I as an ardent nationalist and created the Fasci di Combattimento in 1919, catalyzing his nationalist and socialist beliefs in the Fascist Manifesto, published in 1921. Following the March on Rome in October 1922 he became the 27th Prime Minister of Italy and began using the title Il Duce by 1925, about which time he had established dictatorial authority by both legal and extraordinary means, aspiring to create a totalitarian state. After 1936, his official title was Sua Eccellenza Benito Mussolini, Capo del Governo, Duce del Fascismo e Fondatore dell'Impero ('His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism, and Founder of the Empire'). Mussolini also created and held the supreme military rank of First Marshal of the Empire along with King Victor Emmanuel III, which gave him and the King joint supreme control over the military of Italy. Mussolini remained in power until he was replaced in 1943; for a short period after this until his death, he was the leader of the Italian Social Republic.
Mussolini was among the founders of Italian Fascism, which included elements of nationalism, corporatism, national syndicalism, expansionism, social progress, and anti-socialism in combination with censorship of subversives and state propaganda. In the years following his creation of the Fascist ideology, Mussolini influenced, or achieved admiration from, a wide variety of political figures.

"[The economic dangers of excessive growth in the size of government and bureaucracy, largesse for political purposes, and tax revenue, have always been a problem and a danger to political stability and individual liberty, that wise individuals have tried to warn people about:] The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced. If the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt, people must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance!" - Marcus Tullius Cicero

"Man was born into barbarism when killing his fellow man was a normal condition of existence. He became endowed with a conscience [and increasing wisdom]. And he has now reached the day when violence [force, coercion and fraud] toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating another's flesh." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"[Peace, oppression, conflict, violence, war:] I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Liberty is one of the most precious gifts which heaven has bestowed on man; with it we cannot compare the treasures which the earth contains or the sea conceals; for liberty, as for honor, we can and ought to risk our lives; and, on for the other hand, captivity is the greatest evil that can befall man." - Miguel de Cervantes

| [Quote No.42196] Need Area: Friends > General
"[One of the ways that governments continue to grow larger is that during certain times, especially crises, 'temporary' schemes and government departments are set up, which are then never unwound. So whenever government or politicians talk about a temporary scheme be aware that it is very unlikely to ever be stopped. The 'temporary' restriction is often only a fraudulent political negotiating tactic. So, if you disagree with it as a permanent scheme, don't be fooled into acquiescing since it is 'only temporary'. History has taught us this because, even politicians know, the stakeholders, in particular the beneficiaries - which includes the bureaucrats and public servants administering it, adjust and soon see it as an entitlement that they do not want removed. Politicians, when the time comes to stop it, find it politically difficult and then, for often self-serving political reasons, leave it there, breaking their 'temporary' pledge, even if the legislation that created it had a negotiated 'sunset clause' stipulating its end. Government, like cancer, never wants to stop growing in power and size and therefore must be wisely restrained from growing bloated, rapacious and disempowering. So remember, in politics...] Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program." - Milton Friedman

"The great virtue of a free market [capitalist economic] system is that it [liberates people by removing arbitary discrimination and encouraging co-operation: it] does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another." - Milton Friedman

"Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the United States [or any country] into an armed camp, by the vision of [very expensive to build and run, not to mention psychologically scarring] jails filled with casual drug users [there for possession and use - a form of self-abuse, rather than for violence or property crimes - a much more serious form of abuse as it is against others] and of an army of [government] enforcers empowered to invade the liberty [privacy and property] of [even law-abiding] citizens on slight evidence." - Milton Friedman
(1912 – 2006), American economist, statistician, and author who taught at the University of Chicago for more than three decades. He was a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, and is known for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory, and the complexity of stabilization policy. As a leader of the Chicago school of economics, he influenced the research agenda of the economics profession. A survey of economists ranked Friedman as the second most popular economist of the twentieth century behind John Maynard Keynes, and 'The Economist' described him as 'the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century...possibly of all of it.' Friedman was an economic adviser to conservative President Ronald Reagan. His political philosophy extolled the virtues of a free market economic system with minimal intervention. He once stated that his role in eliminating U.S. conscription was his proudest accomplishment, and his support for school choice led him to found The Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice. In his 1962 book 'Capitalism and Freedom', Friedman advocated policies such as a volunteer military, freely floating exchange rates, abolition of medical licenses, a negative income tax, and education vouchers. His ideas concerning monetary policy, taxation, privatization and deregulation, influenced government policies, especially during the 1980s. His monetary theory influenced the Federal Reserve's response to the global financial crisis in 2007-9.

"The high rate of unemployment among teenagers, and especially black teenagers, is both a scandal and a serious source of social unrest. Yet it is largely a result of [government and union] minimum wage laws. We regard the minimum wage law as one of the most, if not the most, anti-black [anti-opportunity] laws on the statute books [as it reduces the opportunities for unskilled labor to get a job and increase their wages by on-the-job experience, learning and productivity improvements]." - Milton Friedman

needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation's troubles and use as a justification of its own demands for dictatorial powers.

in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people;

"[Regardless of political persuasion, every political philosophy can be further subdivided. For instance, Chinese communism, which has factions along the spectrum of individual personal and economic freedom and power and its converse 'equality', as the following quote shows:] Thus, the contemporary notions of right and left in China began to take shape in 1989 and were crystallized when Hu took power and began to shift Beijing's focus from the coast to the interior. In the Chinese context, 'right' refers to economic decentralization, private enterprise and strong foreign participation in the economy, while 'left' refers to highly centralized state investment-driven growth. The terms of debate derive from Chinese communist nomenclature: Right refers to those who accept some degree of social inequality as a temporary consequence of economic development. The left strives for equality, even at the expense of huge debt, wasteful SOEs [state owned enterprises] and little transparency." - Stratfor
Stratfor is a geopolitical analysis company founded by George Friedman. This is a quote from the Stratfor article, 'China: Two Economic Models and the Ideological Divide in Chongqing', published May 5, 2012.

"Between the state [government] and the individual there is always a tug-of-war, whatever power [and freedom] one acquires must be to the detriment of the other." - Frank Chodorov
(1887 – 1966), American member of the Old Right, a group of libertarian thinkers who were non-interventionist in foreign policy and opposed both the American entry into World War II and the New Deal. In 1953, Chodorov founded the Intercollegiate Society of Individualists (ISI), with William F. Buckley, Jr. as president, becoming the first national conservative student organization, reaching 50,000 members by the end of the century. In later years, ISI became extremely influential as a clearinghouse of conservative publications and as a locus of the conservative intellectual movement in America. It later evolved into the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. In 1954, Chodorov again became editor of The Freeman, in its new incarnation, revived under the auspices of Foundation for Economic Education (FEE). Quote from his work, 'The Cardinal Crime', March 1949.

"[If democracy is not to become mob rule and just another version of 'might is right', there are certain things that even the majority cannot choose for all, especially for a minority; certain unalienable, inherent human rights that no individual or group can ethically contravene.] There is no maxim, in my opinion, which is more liable to be misapplied, and which, therefore, more needs elucidation, than the current, that the interest [and desires] of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong [as in Jeremy Bentham's and John Stuart Mill's philosophy of utilitarianism - 'the greatest happiness for the greatest number'. For example sacrificing the unalienable right to life of an innocent child if the majority thought it would mean more food for them in a famine or denying the unalienable right to liberty of an innocent person by imprisoning them without cause other than the majority wanted to have their wealth]!" - James Madison
