Editing Fascist Manifesto (section)

{{Quotation|text=Italians!

Here is the program of a sane Italian movement. Revolutionary because anti-dogmatic and anti-demagogical; strongly innovative because anti-prejudicial. We place the valorization of revolutionary war above everything and everyone. The other problems: bureaucratic, administrative, legal, educational, colonial, etc., we will chart when we have created the ruling class.

For this WE WANT:

For the political problem

Universal suffrage by regional list voting, with proportional representation, voting and eligibility for women.
Minimum age for voters lowered to 18; minimum age for deputies lowered to 25.
The abolition of the Senate.
The convening of a National Assembly for the duration of three years, whose first task is to establish the form of the state constitution.
The formation of National Technical Councils of labor, industry, transportation, social hygiene, communications, etc., elected by the professional or trade communities, with legislative powers, and the right to elect a General Commissioner with ministerial powers.
For the social problem:
WE WANT:

The prompt enactment of a state law enshrining the legal eight-hour workday for all jobs.
Minimum wages.
The participation of workers' representatives in the technical operation of industry.
The entrusting to the proletarian organizations themselves (who are morally and technically worthy) of the management of public industries or services.
The speedy and complete settlement of the railroad workers and all transportation industries.
A necessary amendment of the Disability and Old Age Insurance Bill by lowering the age limit, currently proposed at 65, to 55.
On the military issue:

WE WANT:

The establishment of a national militia with brief educational services and exclusively defensive duty.
The nationalization of all arms and explosives factories.
A national foreign policy intended to enhance, in the peaceful competitions of civilization, the Italian nation in the world.
For the financial problem:

WE WANT:

A strong extraordinary tax on capital of a progressive nature, having the form of true PARTIAL EXPROPRIATION of all wealth.
The seizure of all property of religious congregations and the abolition of all diocesan benefices, which constitute a huge liability for the nation and a privilege of the few.
The revision of all war supply contracts and the seizure of 85 percent of war profits.|source=|author=Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and Alceste de Ambris|title=''Manifesto dei Fasci italiani di combattimento''}}
