One of the striking differences between Fascism and Communism is this: Fascism has inspired no great work of art....

Fascism tyrannizes through contempt of man; Communism tyrannizes by exalting man above that sphere of private error, private ambition, and private love which we call freedom.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
