"When in the now distant March
of 1919 I summoned to Milan, through the columns of the Popolo
d' Italia, my surviving supporters
who had followed me since the constitution of the Fasces of
Revolutionary Action, founded in
January 1915, there was no specific doctrinal plan in my
mind.....Fascism was not given
out to the wet nurse of a doctrine elaborated beforehand round a
table: it was born out of
the need for action; it was not a party, but in its first two years it
was a
movement against all parties."
