Evidence

The notion of a “State spirit” was adopted by fascism, see e.g. Mussolini, Speech to the Chamber of Deputies, 13 May 1929: “What would the State be if it did not have a spirit, a morality, which is what gives the strength to its laws, and through which it succeeds in securing the obedience of its citizens?” — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2124 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
