Well, Kanis got it. It's as simple as can be. Yes, these are the opening lines of the constitution of Fiume. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Regency_of_Carnaro for more information. This was a very peculiar moment in recent european history. Very particular forces were acting there, both cultural and political: dada, futurism, proto-fascism, anarchism, feminism, eastern philosophies, a certain interpretation of bolchevism as well. If things had gone a different way back then, in Fiume, probably there wouldn't have been fascism, in Italy, as we've known it. Thus probably the whole XXth century would have happened in a very different way. From Ronan's point of view, Fiume was probably some sort of utopia: a state where art and philosophy mingled with politics, action, courage, nationalist and internationalist pride. Where intellectuals and artists were soldiers and soldiers were dreamers dreaming an entirely different world.
