丘吉尔语录：向希特勒和墨索里尼致敬

丘吉尔语录：向希特勒和墨索里尼致敬

“（希特勒）所做出的成就出乎人们的预料，可以说，这对于人类历史是一大贡献。”（1935年）

“如果我的国家吃了败仗，我希望我们也能找到（希特勒）这样出色的领袖。”（1937年）（摘自特鲁汉诺夫斯基：《丘吉尔的一生》，北京出版社，1982年版，第267页）

1927年对墨索里尼赞扬道：“我们会在你们的反对列宁主义的胜利斗争中，始终诚心实意地和你们在一起……在国际方面，你们的活动支援了整个世界……意大利向我们表明应当如何同破坏势力斗争，……意大利为俄国毒药制出了必要的解毒剂，从此以后，任何一个大国不会再对危害性疾病束手无策了”。《丘吉尔的一生》，第224页。

“（墨索里尼）把在1919年可能陷入布尔什维主义的意大利人民拯救出来，……如果不是他的统治，而是另一个人的统治，那就很可能出现一个共产党的意大利，……即使在战争的结局已经明确无疑的时候，墨索里尼他仍然会受到盟国的欢迎。……他的伟大的历程仍不失为他个人-权力和长期统治的一个纪念碑。”丘吉尔：《第二次世界大战回忆录》第五卷，海南出版社，2003年版，第58页。

“While all those formidable transformations were occurring in Europe, Corporal Hitler was fighting his long, wearing battle for the German heart. The story of that struggle cannot be read without admiration for the courage, the perseverance, and the vital force which enabled him to challenge, defy, conciliate, or overcome, all the authorities or resistance’s which barred his path. He, and the ever increasing legions who worked with him, certainly showed at this time, in their patriotic ardour and love of country, that there was nothing that they would not dare, no sacrifice of life, limb or liberty that they would not make themselves or inflict upon their opponents.”

丘吉尔如此赞美希特勒：“当欧洲发生这些可怕的变化时，希特勒下士正在为德国精神开展他长期孜孜不倦的奋斗。要读懂这个故事，需要有对勇气、不屈不挠和生命力的崇敬之心。正是这些力量鼓舞他挑战、否定、安抚和征服一切权威和拦路虎。毫无疑问，他，和他越来越多的追随者，此刻在他们的爱国激情和乡土之爱中表现出来的，是无所畏惧，他们不怕牺牲自己的生命和自由，也不怕让他们的敌人如此。”

And speaking in Rome on 20 January, 1927, Churchill praised Mussolini:

“I could not help being charmed, like so many other people have been, by Signor Mussolini’s gentle and simple bearing and by his calm, detached poise in spite of so many burdens and dangers. Secondly, anyone could see that he thought of nothing but the lasting good, as he understood it, of the Italian people, and that no lesser interest was of the slightest consequence to him. If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism. I will, however, say a word on an international aspect of fascism. Externally, your movement has rendered service to the whole world. The great fear which has always beset every democratic leader or a working class leader has been that of being undermined by someone more extreme than he. Italy has shown that there is a way of fighting the subversive forces which can rally the masses of the people, properly led, to value and wish to defend the honour and stability of civilised society. She has provided the necessary antidote to the Russian poison. Hereafter no great nation will be unprovided with an ultimate means of protection against the cancerous growth of Bolshevism.”

1927年丘吉尔在罗马赞扬墨索里尼说：“像其他很多人一样，我无法不着迷于墨索里尼温和朴素的举止和面对无数负担与危难时泰然自若的风度，其次，任何人都能看出他考虑的是意大利人民的持久利益，如他所理解的那样，而且毫无私心杂念。如果我是一个意大利人，我相信我会全身心地、从始至终地加入你们胜利的斗争中，反对列宁主义的兽欲和狂怒……”

In July 1925, a Commission of Inquiry reported generally favouring the miners, rather than the mine owners' position.[84] Baldwin, with Churchill's support proposed a subsidy to the industry while a Royal Commission prepared a further report.

That Commission solved nothing and the miners' dispute led to the General Strike of 1926, Churchill was reported to have suggested that machine guns be used on the striking miners. Churchill edited the Government's newspaper, the British Gazette, and, during the dispute, he argued that "either the country will break the General Strike, or the General Strike will break the country" and claimed that the fascism of Benito Mussolini had "rendered a service to the whole world," showing, as it had, "a way to combat subversive forces"—that is, he considered the regime to be a bulwark against the perceived threat of Communist revolution. At one point, Churchill went as far as to call Mussolini the "Roman genius... the greatest lawgiver among men."

1925年7月，一个调查委员会报告基本倾向于矿工而不是矿场主的立场。鲍德温在丘吉尔的支持下提议对该行业进行补贴，同时，一个皇家委员会准备一份进一步的报告。

这个委员会没解决任何问题，矿工们的抗议导致了1926年的总罢工。报道说，丘吉尔建议对罢工工人使用机枪。丘吉尔编辑政府报纸《不列颠公报》，在争论中，他主张“要么国家摧毁总罢工，要么总罢工摧毁国家”，并宣称本尼托·墨索里尼的法西斯主义“是对全世界的贡献”，表现了对“破坏分子斗争”的一种方式——也就是说，他认为政治体制是一座对抗共产主义革命迫在眉睫威胁的堡垒。有一次，丘吉尔走得太远，甚至称墨索里尼是“罗马天才……人类最伟大的立法者”。
