Hitler more successfully did this than Mussolini in my opinion.

well it's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact

Mostly thanks to the efforts of Georing and Hansfstaengl.

Mussolini had little success after the battle for the liras

*lira

What opinion are we disagreeing on?

Nothing

I said it was a fact that Hitler had more success than Mussolini

I'm more of a Dist

Oh, that I agree with.

I think Mussolini was kind of a moron.

But all of the political theory surrounding Mussolini was better than Hitler's, and provided the foundation for Hitler.

Mussolini was a good theorist and campaigner

bad policy maker

Mussolini didn't invent fascism, Doctor Anon was right when he said Gentile did

his naval policy was especially atrocious

I did say surrounding.

oof

Anon also knows nothing about fascism.

He's a complete moron honestly when it comes to fascism.

And I've told him so.

He just happens to be right on the very trivial fact that Gentile is the central philosopher to fascism.

I don't know a lot about it either, but I think I get the core concepts

>everyone creating aircraft carriers
>Italy needs battleships!
>all Italian battleships suck at the start of WW2 by British aircraft

Fascism sees itself as transcending the left and right dichotomy because it stands in opposition to communism and nihilistic consumerism

For Italy Hegelian-Marxist thought was translated to see the "proletariat" in national terms.

With decadent bourgeois nations like France and Britain in opposition to weak countries like Italy.

Gentile was actually a Hegelian but right-Hegelianism is really perverted beyond recognition when you adopt it to fascism.

I don't think fascism can ever be left wing like some claim because of its motives

Because the original right-Hegelians were very politically orthodox. Basically Burkian conservatives.

Communists are internationalist

And seek to create a "new man"

"fascists r liburals!"

Fascism is meant to be a restoration of what once was

That's just the surface.

There's plenty of differences underneath that

Communism seeks to abolish class and private property

Fascism advocates for class collaboration

They may hate the same things up to a certain point, but you can make that argument about any two ideologies

well, perhaps not every pair

But you can with a lot that just don't make sense
