WHERE DICTATORSHIP WAS CRADLED
"Fotur years of war taught too many survivors the vicious lesson that violence was bravery and duty; that 'patriotism' explained and exoused. everything, even spying on a friend on what was called the 'home front,' very far from the flre of the enemy. ... If the greator part of the aots of violence committed by Fascists in Italy and Nazis in Germany are characterised by base cowardice it is becanse their authors believed or wished to believe, that, after all, they were committing acts of War — in which all is permitted. The diotators accelerated the process of moral debasement, for everywhere, Russia inclnded, they favoured the flatterers, the so-called experts (who, under the pretext of doing their technioal work, have ient themselves without consoience to serve everybody and everything), but they eliminated all the courageous servants of the State, the most reliable critioal minds, the original brains." — Connt Carlo Sforza, in " Europe and Europeans."
