ABSTRACT
The notion of might being superior to right in dealings at an international level was thus a central part of the European intellectual tradition, as were so many other of the constituent parts of fascist theory. The fascists put this theory into practice with energy and enthusiasm, for it involved them in minimal political repercussions on the domestic front. The notion of might being superior to right in dealings at an international level was thus a central part of the European intellectual tradition, as were so many other of the constituent parts of fascist theory. The assumptions made by statesmen and thinkers were similar in many lands and many periods of time. The thinkers hardly discouraged the assumptions behind these statements of practice, accepting a form of mysticism as justification of the most ruthless actions. The historical process of the fulfilment of destiny was held to validate the most extraordinary violations of human rights.
