ABSTRACT
The destruction of Mussolini and Hitler is essential to the salvation of Europe. Anyone who examines either the aims or the record of Hitler and Mussolini is entitled to conclude that those who oppose them stand, by comparison, for liberty and democracy. The essence of Fascism, whether in its German or its Italian form, is the use of the outlaw by privilege to defend itself against the demand of the masses for justice. That demand is made when the contraction of the economic system brings out the inherent contradiction between the forces of production and its relations. To seek that perpetuation in one of those moments when it is evident that a great revolution is seeking to discover its appropriate institutions would be a blunder so great as to imperil for long years to come the preservation of a civilized way of life.
