"The fascists' major objective is that of justice, greater social justice. If modern science has solved the other problem, that of multiplying wealth, science, spurred on by the state must now solve the other problem, that of wealth distribution. So that the illogical, paradoxical phenomenon of want in the midst of plenty shall not be repeated" Benito Mussolini 1933.
