Giovanni Gentile being otherwise known as the philosopher of fascism and the guy putting ideas straight into Mussolini’s brain. Whether it’s a paraphrase or direct translation, the idea itself is certainly covered by the more famous “everything within the state” quote and describes an undeniable goal of fascism.
Before people start throwing around the Mussolini quote, as much as I’d LIKE to believe it, apparently it can’t be sourced. :(
The quote isn’t WRONG, it just can’t be sourced to Mussolini.

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini
It is generally attributed to an article written by Mussolini in the 1932 Enciclopedia Italiana with the assistance of Giovanni Gentile, the editor.
The quote, however, does not appear in the Enciclopedia Italiana in the original Italian.
