Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?

  So the point of the comment was the relative strength of leftists during the era, not whether/how powerful the fascists were

    I didn’t read your “powerful” as an adjective qualifying the fascists, but as one qualifying the countries susceptible to see the rise of fascism, and in the case of Italy, both are wrong.

    Also, just like the Danish government nowadays, Mussolini came from a Leftist background and later started applying authoritarian and later totalitarian policies and measures.

        I just went to school in Italy.

        This should tell you how guilty of fascism is everyone in Italy who even just entertains the idea to reproduce completely or in part laws similar to the ones of the guy.

        L’unico fascista buono è il fascista morto.
