:Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses ''the importance of the State'' and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity. It is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; ''Fascism reasserts the rights of the State'' as expressing the real essence of the individual.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimpowell/2012/02/22/the-economic-leadership-secrets-of-benito-mussolini/#2f2fab6868e6 The Economic Leadership Secrets of Benito Mussolini]</ref><ref>[https://fee.org/articles/how-fascism-became-the-political-boogeyman/ How Fascism Became the Political Boogeyman]</ref>

Conservatives are inherently anti-Fascist because they support democratic values and are opposed to one-party totalitarianism. Mussolini also argued that "If it is admitted that the nineteenth century has been the century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy, it does not follow that the twentieth must also be the century of Liberalism, Socialism and Democracy. Political doctrines pass; peoples remain. It is to be expected that this century may be that of authority, a century of the "Right," a Fascist century." <ref>[http://www.historyguide.org/europe/duce.html  "Mussolini, Doctrine of Fascism (1932)"]</ref> Fascism is generally seen as a totalitarian ideology of the [[far right]]<ref>John Weiss, ''The Fascist Tradition: Radical right-wing extremism in modern Europe'' Harper & Row, 1967. </ref>.
