XIV. Fascist Empire Building
Chapter XIV
FASCIST EMPIRE BUILDING
“‘Something for nothing’ is a dominant principle in the methods of imperialist expansion adopted by all ‘have not’ powers.”
XV. Planning for War
Chapter XV
PLANNING FOR WAR
“Not the military experts, but the Party leaders, decided the tempo of militarization and rearmament.”
MANY businessmen had nurtured the hope that the Army could be relied upon to prevent tyrannical abuse of power and that it would restore the traditional basis of bourgeois society—the sanctity of private property. This—when Hitler came to power—was the viewpoint of the political leader of the German conservative nationalists, Alfred Hugenberg, as well as of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht.
XVI. Bureaucracy in Control
Chapter XVI
BUREAUCRACY IN CONTROL
“They do no work which adds goods or social services to
the market. Their job is to hold their job. The rest of the
community finds itself serving as the hardworking host
upon which the bureaucratic clique is feeding and fattening.”
XVII. A World of Absurdities
Chapter XVII
A WORLD OF ABSURDITIES
“The fascist dictatorship grows stronger—internally and
externally—the more it increases the dangers against which
it pretends to protect the businessman.”
