Fascist Views on State Power
Granted that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, liberalism, democracy, this does not mean that the twentieth century must also be the century of socialism, liberalism, democracy. Political doctrines pass; nations remain. We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the right, a Fascist century. If the nineteenth century was the century of the individual (liberalism implies individualism) we are free to believe that this is the collective century, and therefore the century of the State.
The Fascist concept of a ‘century of authority’ implies which of the following views regarding the relationship between state power and individual rights?
A
Elevates state control over personal freedoms as paramount.
B
Implies a diminished role of the state in favor of individual liberties.
C
Advocates for complete abolition of state power to ensure personal freedoms.
D
Suggests a balanced coexistence of state power and individual rights.
