How the Democrats fell for Mussolini

[jbrownson0831]

As he was embraced by most Italians at the time. But even though Mussolini restored the Italian monarchy and gave lip service to the Roman Catholic Church, he was not a conservative. He was a revolutionary "progressive."

Nor was Hitler a "conservative." His goal was to end the conservative institutions in Germany and centralize all power to the state. He even snubbed the efforts of the conservative party to join the Nazis against the Communists.

Hitler felt nothing short of disgust for the conservative military officers in Germany, the prior nobility, and he hated and oppressed the Christian church. His deputy Himmler demanded those in the elite SS to give up Christian practices, and Christian leaders were often put in concentration camps. Hitler's vision was actually a Neo-Pagan socialist Germany.

If the truth be known, Conservatives are actually the antithesis of the original fascists and their ideology. We believe in checks on government power, whether in terms of checks among branches and state vs. federal, or checks between competing parties. We also want to maintain and support non-government institutions like the church, family, and social organizations, and prevent an obstructive and intrusive government from interfering in local affairs.

We tend to inherently distrust power in the hands of any individual, group of individuals, or party. Conservatives by definition seek to further individual freedoms that fascists hate and seek to end: Freedoms like free speech, the individual right to bear arms, the individual rights of families in education, and the importance of the church.

So get your ideologies straight.

See how stupid the Dims are? They created all these things they pretend to be against....slavery, fascism, the KKK....

Everyone knows that, the Dims try to hide it.

Oh yeah, appreciate the reminder. There's nothing you and your filthy ilk won't lie about.

Thanks for pointing that out.

There’s a tendency today to see Benito Mussolini as a pathetic sideshow, an incompetent blusterer who went from Adolf Hitler’s idol to his lapdog. Yet in many ways, Mussolini’s notion of fascism has become increasingly dominant in much of the world, albeit in an unexpected form: in the worldview of those progressives who typically see “proto-fascism” lurking on the Right.
Mussolini, a one-time radical socialist, viewed himself as a “revolutionary” transforming society by turning the state into “the moving centre of economic life”. In Italy and, to a greater extent, Germany, fascism also brought with it, at least initially, an expanded highly populist welfare state much as we see today.
Indeed, Mussolini’s idea of an economy controlled from above, with generous benefits but dominated by large business interests, is gradually supplanting the old liberal capitalist model. In the West, for example, the “Great Reset,” introduced by the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab, proposes an expanded welfare state and an economy that transcends the market for the greater goal of serving racial and gender “equity”, as well as saving the planet.


Comment:
A good read.....
Despite the protestations of the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Left, Progressive/Marxists and Fascists have always been "kissing cousins," borrowing ideas and inspiration from each other. Now, it's become an even more complete connection.
Fascism is a collectivist ideology despite what the PM/DSA Democrat LEFT says.
China currently practices their form of Marxist Fascism but they will never admit it.

Critics of Roosevelt's New Deal often likened it to fascism. This was recognized to be true during the 1930s, by the New Deal's supporters as well as its

Too funny con-sidering how the Republicans announced their admiration for Mussolini in Congress as is recorded in the Congressional Record. Read "The Illustrious Dunderheads" which is an anthology of such speeches.

The only thing Washington had in common with the democrats was owning slaves.

Imagine you telling George you identify as a shemale, your pronouns are xhe/xher and you need a safe space at the camp. He would have put one of these in your face.

History says otherwise

Mussolini was first embraced by Italian conservatives.

Mussolini and the End of Liberal Democracy | National Review

They believed Italy’s horrific sacrifice for the Allied cause in the Great War — over 650,000 killed and 950,000 wounded — demanded national regeneration.

www.nationalreview.com

Benito Mussolini was the first political leader to write the epitaph for liberal democracy in Europe. Yet it was liberal democracy, through a recovery of moral vigor, that managed to defeat Fascism.

In the Piazza San Sepolcro in Milan, the building in which Mussolini and his followers first vowed to overthrow the established order still stands. It houses a police station.

The rule of law has replaced the rule of the dictator. Once worshipped like a god, Mussolini became a pariah because of his disastrous alliance with Hitler’s Germany. He fled Milan in April 1945 but was caught and executed: Shot in the chest, his body was strung up to cheers and mockery.

It was, according to an eyewitness, “as if the whole thing was a dream from which we would awake to find the world unchanged.”
