[edit] Early use
I'm not really sure Non abismo... is the earliest use of the word "statolatry." In fact I'm doubtful of that, so I just called it "an earlier use" rather than the earliest. It's just the oldest thing I've read the word in and seems to be older than the Von Mises book mentioned.(And it's in most every version I've seen, but I could try to see if it's in the original Latin)--T.

[edit] Doctrine of Fascism
I think the article as it currently is, is wrong in claiming that the Doctrine of Fascism mentions "Statolatry" at all. I know in later works of his, Giovanni Gentile refuted the claim that his ideologies amounted to statolatry, and he opposed that word, though he continued to claim the state was spiritual and even a focal point of the spirit, this was not quite the same as "divine" or worthy of worship in his philosophy.

[edit] Idolatry
The term "Statolatry" doesn't really have the root element of "Idol" in it, but simply the Greek "latreia" meaning worship, with the latin "stato-". I will leave it for someone else to change, as the 'Idolatry' link does explain the transposition of worship to some concept such as "a state" quite well, even if it is technically incorrect in this instance that it does not infact combined the "idol"atry element.

[edit] Where is "statolatry"?
Can someone add the direct quote from "La dottrina del fascismo" in Italian and the English translation of the passage? I can't find what you're referring to!
