Mussolini on Fascism and the Use of Empty Words

"Fascism, sitting on the right, could also have sat on the mountain of the center ... These words in any case do not have a fixed and unchanged meaning: they do have a variable subject to location, time and spirit. We don't give a damn about these empty terminologies and we despise those who are terrorized by these words." 
- Mussolini, "Luoghi comuni. Destra e sinistra," Il Popolo d'Italia, 29 July 1922
