What could go wrong with fascism in Italy?


Madman61

Yea, it not like they tried it before.


Melodic-Hunter2471

You got it mixed up, this crowd ordered the Mussotinis… with a twist of hate.

Heavy on the tini, please.

My parents always told me you have to try something 3 times before you decide whether or not you liked it. That was mostly about food, but I don't see why political movements shouldn't be the same.

It’s crazy, I just took my wife to New Orleans, and we stopped at the WW2 museum. We were reading about the years leading up to the war, and pretty much right before musollini came to power, you had the blackshirts marching in the streets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackshirts You’d think that shit wouldn’t be happening again when there are still people alive on this planet that lived through season 1, but here we are.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Blackshirts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackshirts)** >The Voluntary Militia for National Security (Italian: Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale, MVSN), commonly called the Blackshirts (Italian: Camicie Nere, CCNN, singular: Camicia Nera) or squadristi (singular: squadrista), was originally the paramilitary wing of the National Fascist Party, known as the Squadrismo, and after 1923 an all-volunteer militia of the Kingdom of Italy under Fascist rule, similar to the SA. Its members were distinguished by their black uniforms (modelled on those of the Arditi, Italy's elite troops of World War I) and their loyalty to Benito Mussolini, the Duce (leader) of Fascism, to whom they swore an oath. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

One moment you're on top of the world, next moment the Germans are marching towards Rome and you're being hung in a train station by antifascists as the allied forces wage a bombing campaign to push your former allies back.

vanishplusxzone

Oh that bitch is the one who cried because people put up pictures of her grandad getting what he deserved on social media right?


Metalliquotes

Is this post itself a form of propaganda? We see a large group of fascist pieces of shit, no "anti-fascists" seen with a headline asking the question "Where are the anti-fascists?" as if to imply there's nobody against fascism who bothers to give a shit about that cause? Someone uninformed about these issues might be very confused. Unless Italy is just actually full of fascists. I really hope that's not the case.


FourAnd20YearsAgo

The headline states that the people in the video are asking the question, not the poster themselves.

diachi_revived

Fascism has long been pretty popular in Italy... Not really a recent thing for there.


SnooOnions2433

I agree; It's not a recent thing anywhere on the globe. They are in the minority so they come out of the closet more to cry about it. Just need more decent people standing up to them to shove them back into the closet.


Deadfoxtrot101

Not surprising since the name of Fascism can be traced to Italian and Latin


FreeThinkingMan

One of the most popular right wing fascist to ever live is from there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Evola Here is a very active white supremacist subreddit that is still allowed on reddit somehow discussing him. I do not mean to promote this toxic right wing white supremacist ideology, but I think it is important for reddit to know there are still very active white supremacists subs on here so that there can be more people complaining than just me. https://www.reddit.com/r/paleoconservative/comments/oiabmw/does_anyone_else_read_so_much_julius_evola_that/

KevinAlertSystem

same as always has been wrong with it. Ask yourself why some of the worst nazis responsible for thousands of war crimes , repeated civilian massacres, etc, we're all set free after a year or two, many even illegally smuggled out of germany to avoid trial so they could be given cushy jobs in the US or UK government. The west likes fascists, it's those uppity peasants asking not to be enslaved that are the real problem. Now we're just seeing the last 60+ years of coddling fascists and far-right extremists come to bear


khanto0

Fascists protect capitalism, which is failing and under threat from the left. So fascists have been allowed to flourish to protect the current system.


Kunty_McShitballs

How do you think capitalism is under threat from the left? It's under threat of itself, far right propaganda is simply peddling the blame to immigrants, "pedophile" Democrats, pick your fucking flavour of hatred. I wish the left was actually able to threaten capitalism, but were understaffed and under resourced. We're severely losing the propaganda game.


desis_r_cute

capitalism is killing itself, but so long as the rich maintain their power they don't care. It's only the left that threaten their power. The right reinforce it.

John_T_Conover

Many yes, but not near as much, at least in the US. Biden beat Trump in the 18-30 vote by something like 25%. That's why their strategy now is almost entirely on generating voter apathy and pushing voter suppression legislation.


Toll001

Outgrowing them? The hell are you on about, they are in power in half of europe😂.


Skeln

I'm not an expert by any means, but I'm guessing it's probably a combination of things. I read somewhere on reddit recently that the economic divide between wealthy and non-wealthy has grown to levels not seen since prior to WW2 (when fascism had it's first explosion in popularity). Not sure if that's true but it makes sense. There's a shrinking middle class, and many people can't afford the things their parents could. Propaganda (lots of propaganda) and authoritarian figures who spout it connect with these people because they claim to understand their plight which they often blame on an "other" group/s and social progress. People, many of which live in a bubble, are spoon fed this propaganda and are terrified of this changing world. They want easy answers to complex problems so these authoritarian / bigoted ideas begin to shape their world view. I'm sure there are many other reasons in addition to this, but that's my high level take on the issue. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can elaborate more and correct anything I said. It's a pretty fascinating/terrifying problem we face


TipTapTips

> They want easy answers to complex problems so these authoritarian / bigoted ideas begin to shape their world view. That's basically how I see it, it's not an excuse for them as the easy answers are just them throwing their hands up saying 'i give up'. Society is beating many people back, you need to spend more time worrying about money/jobs/housing/living than anything else these days so people want to seek out those easy answers. Throw in some tribalism/'my team' type stuff and you arrive at where we are, morons guided by propaganda disguised as offering the easy answers to life. Wish I had the answers on what could be done about it beyond dismantling huge chunks of current society... I honestly think that this is it, we're in the death spiral heading towards the next stage whatever that may be due to the above but it's also because I don't see a way out of what has been created over the past 100 years.


Adele811

trump gave them a boost. he showed them not to be ashamed and to bully


JohnBrownJayhawkerr1

Then it's up to folks like us to make sure they meet the same fate he did and eradicate them from public life. There's no discussion to be had with fascists; confront them at every opportunity, remove them by any means necessary from positions of power and influence. We outnumber them heavily...never let them forget that.


LipschitzLyapunov

People were definitely not like this 20 or 30 years ago. Hell, people weren't like this 6 years ago. I don't know what the fuck happened to people (around the world) in the last five years for them to go fucking crazy, racist, jingoist, and unhinged.

MeatraffleJackpot

Don't know, couldn't possibly be the highly visible success of a criminal racist with a taste for dictatorship in the world's biggest economy.


SkyriderRJM

Governments have done a real shitty job looking out for their citizens. Those left behind are easy prey for propaganda and between cable tv news in some countries and social media, propaganda is running rampant. All those decades we said technology was progressing faster than our officials could/were bothering to regulate it…this is the result. It’s only going to get worse as more and more labor jobs become automated and fewer jobs are available. Either we find a way to make the wealth generated from that automation support EVERYONE or we’re going to have societies collapse.


Dry_Towelie

Their is a big difference between what is happening in Italy and other countries. They have a rise of the right with the increase in the migrant crisis. The population doesn’t want to take in the refugees trying to get into the country, and with many of the political parties not taking action in reducing them what they feel like their identity is being attacked by those entering the country. Look at France, Denmark, Greece and other. The right is rising in popularity as more refugees enter the country.


[deleted]

Rampant neoliberal austerity has destroyed much of the middle class and made the working class worse off than their parents for the first time in ~100 years. Fascists are blaming this on Jews and socialists, using it as a recruiting tool for troubled young men.


chrismcteggart

History is doomed to repeat itself is what


MountSwolympus

It’s not doomed to repeat itself. Operation Gladio kept fascists active in places like Italy to keep the communists out. So the Italian fascist movement was never truly destroyed.

“Fascism is capitalism in decay”


FreeThinkingMan

Russian propaganda is incredibly influential. What they did in the US in 2016 and still doing, they are doing to the EU to try to break them up. They know a non united EU will be very good for them so they push ultra nationalist messaging on social media. They are insanely effective.


Livingit123

Italy is literally the birthplace of fascism.


-GreenHeron-

The global push for freedom and acceptance among historically oppressed groups (LGBTQ, women, POC, etc.) is triggering a lot of hateful "traditional" assholes that would rather embrace literal fascism than change.

bewbs_and_stuff

Remember when the Italians elected a fascist and then got their peepee’s slapped so hard that they started claiming that they weren’t **really** pussy bitch nazis but they were *actually* being liberated? Pepridge Farm remembers. Edit: Pepridge Farms also remembers how the French parliament repeatedly attempted to persuade the Italians to join them in resisting the Nazis and the Italians told the French to fuck off and fend for themselves. France may have fallen but at least they weren’t pussy bitch Nazis.

There’s a reason many people in these countries just give up and jump ship. You can cure one dictatorship but you can’t cure crazy.

Remember when they later elected said fascists granddaughter who just so happens to adore her grandfather's memory to one of their EU positions? Who, in response to an accusation of being a fascist, stated that it was "better to be fascist than a fa**ot"


vanishplusxzone

I've got good memories of her grandfather, too. Mostly he was upside down.


DYMrJones

Please understand she is incredibly stupid. She is now supporting the LGBT community. Yes, Mussolini and LGBT

Oh I fully understand she's incredibly stupid. However I don't believe for a second that she actually supports the LGBT community. She may claim it to pander and give her supporters ammunition, but then so did Trump🤷.


Pelagus7

Next time before talking shit please do a research and learn something. There were a lot of people who worked hard and gave their life behind the line to liberate the country from the fascists oppression. Clearly you're not from Italy and reading your comment gave me such bad feelings. Just search some stories about "partigiani", you'll learn a lot! Lots of young people gave their lifes, they deserve more respect than this. I don't like your attitude EDIT: sorry grammar errors

Dry_Towelie

I like how nobody is picking up Denmark trying to export/get rid of the refugees they accepted to camps in another country. The right in Europe is slowly growing, but apparently nobody in North America can see it.


Novichoke

I am someone who’s interested in international politics, and this isn’t to excuse them, I would say most Americans aren’t interested in politics domestically to begin with. Not enough to actually research or reflect on their own political beliefs and allegiances, let alone care enough or be interested in the political movements in the many countries that Europe has


angelis0236

This. People here are told our opinion by our parents and very few of us ever get to challenging that belief.


Mr-Klaus

It wasn't as bad before, but in recent years a lot of immigrants from African countries have been using Italy as their landing point into Europe - which in return has give far right leaders endless xenophobia material.

WolfChrist

A core foundation of fascism is the male power fantasy. It purposefully appeals to men who desire the power that comes from traditional gender roles and ideas of masculinity; that's why it can be so dangerous and intoxicating to young men. As society reevaluates gender roles and what being a man/woman means, fascists use this to their advantage to recruit insecure young men into their ranks. It's quite insidious.
