Perplexing, isn't it? Many of the same people who demand
control by the State for every niggling foible decry
'fascism' while yet denying that fascism is, in essence, no
different from any other totalitarian system.

Who could define it better than Mussolini, the creator,
himself?

"All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing
against the state."

Very nice, that, especially if you define yourself as "the state".

Sounds very much like the modern totalitarians.

But, by the same token, it could equally be the motto of an absolute monarchy: "L'état, c'est moi."
