In 1931 he declared: "The Communist Party in Russia and the Fascist party in Italy are examples of an active aristocracy. There are the best, pragmatic, conscious, the most reflective and volit elements of their nations ". He made often positive comparisons between Mussolini and Lenin, thinking that the two revolutions of the century (Bolshevik and Fascist) should be interconnected. His friend Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the father of futurism, tried the same thing too. He was not fascist and was not antifascist, but he supports that years. He mistook Fascism for a system of freedom because in Italy he stayed well and he felt free, after trying the American intolerance. He was a pacifist, a non-violent. He was the only one poet admitted in Bocconi, the most important University of Economics in Italy, to take some Economics lectures.
