😢

Oh really?

What an absolute travesty

The blood those grounds are covered in and this new generation decides to throw it out with ballots

@FLanon You ever read this book?

https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Italy-1871-Present-3rd/dp/1405823526

The biggest support for the Front National is in Southern France, its pretty easy to see why when looking at that Graph

Good book, includes a lot of information about Italy.

Including Mussolini.

I wish to immigrate to Italy one day.

Rome was amazing.

I've been.

I am aware that Mussolini did nationalize quite a few industries in his time

Sadly, the refugees have spread to the city of Rome now.

@FLanon ehhh...

I mean

Again

Its very complicated

Yes, certainly, there was intervention in the economy

Sometimes it was full government control and seizure without compensation, and sometimes it was national charters, or elevating loyal workers to shareholder positions.

He didn't stick to one technique.

Either way, a lot of the things he did were straight of out Marx.

I would call that very distinct from socialism, I am someone who believes in pragmatic intervention

I see.

LMAO

Mussolini was not a Marxist by any stretch of the imagination

@reagent yep

Are you kidding me, is that a real statement

Yes that was posted here earlier, fucking hilarious that is

I really wonder if voting 'Yes' or voting 'No' would hurt these red state Democrats more

@FLanon I mean

I hate to pull this card but...

He just wasn't. That's absurd.

If he's a marxist, anyone is a marxist

Having government intervention in an economy is not inherently marxist

Mussolini considered himself a socialist all throughout his career, he only started using the term "fascista" when there was a divide within the Italian Socialist Party on whenever to participate in the coming wars. He is a socialist, a simple socialist who had militaristic attributes that define him as unique.

His new view of war put him in conflict with Italy’s socialists and resulted in his expulsion from the party. In 1914 (or 1915), Mussolini formed his own political movement, the Fasci d’azione rivoluzionaria or Fascisti (Fascists). {yes that fucking party name was a copy and paste i aint typing that shit}
