“The problem with fascism and communism, however, is not that they are too critical of religion; the problem is that they are too much like religions. Such regimes are dogmatic to the core. Auschwitz, the gulag and the killing fields were not examples of what happens when human beings reject religious dogma; they are examples of political, racial and nationalistic dogma run amok. There is no society in human history that ever suffered because its people became too reasonable.”
Sam Harris
“Democracy is the opposite of totalitarianism, communism, fascism, or mobocracy.”
Frank Lloyd Wright
“Fascism is a religion. The twentieth century will be known in history as the century of Fascism.”
Benito Mussolini
“Fascism is capitalism plus murder.”
Upton Sinclair
“The strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.”
Michel Foucault
“Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.”
Jean-Paul Sartre
“The more there are riots, the more repressive action will take place, and the more we face the danger of a right-wing takeover and eventually a fascist society.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
