Fascism

Descriere

"A state's life cannot be made to depend on one man, as great as he may be, because then it is arbitrariness and, almost always, abuse that come to prevail. In its essence, Fascist dictatorship is no different than Bolshevik dictatorship, because in Italy, just as in Russia, it is burdensome and abusive. The Bolsheviks and the Fascists created a monopoly of power in favour of their party and class; they imposed themselves by force, overlooking the law, which is an act of extreme gravity, because they proclaimed the primacy of force over legal rights. In such a situation, there may always emerge greater forces that could remove the leader and then law, safety, authority, and the state itself are abolished." Fragment: " Petre Andrei The Man and his Personality* After having studied for more than 40 years all sorts of archives and documents, after having gathered the memories of the people who knew him, and after having organized my own thoughts, I finally feel that the elaboration of a complete biography of Professor Petre Andrei, the teacher, the man of science and the political personality is actually possible. But no less than 102 years have passed since his birth, and many of those who knew him have crossed the Styx, documents were lost during the war, in earthquakes and other natural disasters, thus many a precious data has disappeared. Although I am extremely subjective, in the small number of lines I was given I will attempt to talk about some particular facts which are still unknown to our readers, which could reveal Petre Andrei's personality as a professor, man of science and political militant. He was a short man with a pale complexion, he was hawk-nosed, and he had blue eyes and curly hair. He was extremely modest, with a slightly ironical smile, he was a solitary, but willful and strong minded person and when he was discontent his eyes used to glow. "
