------------------------------------------------------------------

The principles were extracted from ⁠Mussolini: A New Life by Nicholas Farrell.


The Principles:

1. Attack your rivals and scheme their downfall. Power is seized by the bold and aggressive. (01:10)

2. Lead an armed revolutionary movement backed by strong grassroots support. (19:34)

3. Centralise, concentrate and consolidate control; everyone must be accountable to you. (49:50)

4. No claim to Power is more persuasive than the threat of violent force. (01:05:05)

5. Legitimise your rule by winning an election, but only after manipulating the electoral system to your advantage. (01:29:17)

6. Do not bandwagon on a rival’s rise; at best, you will be overshadowed, at worst, devoured. (01:45:04)

7. Never relinquish an ounce of power, and punish any traitors who dare to threaten it. (02:08:11)
