According to Mussolini, "Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State". Hitler sees the Fascist state as "the organisation of a community homogeneous in nature and feeling, for the better furtherance and maintenance of their type and the fulfillment of the destiny marked out for them by Providence". Palme Dutt, one of its ablest critics, summarizes Fascism as "a movement of mixed elements, dominantly petit-bourgeois, but also slum-proletarian and demoralised working class, financed and directed by finance-capital, by the big industrialists, landlords and financiers, to defeat the working-class revolution and smash the working-class organisations". Professor Robert A. Brady, impartial American investigator, in an authoritative work on German Fascism defines it as "monopoly capitalism become conscious of its powers, the conditions of its survival, and mobilized to crush all opposition. It is capitalism mobilized to crush trade unions, to wipe out radical and liberal criticism, to promote, with the sum total of all its internal resources, economic advantage at home and abroad."
