Easy to forget that Italy was with the Allies group in WW1. But also that WW1 ended with private sector creditors knocking at the door of winners and losers alike. The old aristocracy had leveraged itself to the hilt in order to finance a pointless, needless, catastrophic war between regional powers. And now the new aristocracy of capital was trying to strip the copper out of the walls of the proles in order to pay back what was owed.
This lead to a groundswell of socialist organization and radicalism in the wake of the Great War. One which threatened aristocrats old and new. The only response Italians (and Germans… and Brits and Americans to boot) could conceive of was a fascist heel-stomp on the necks of the rising organizations of labor.
TRAITORS OF THE WORLD!
Hardly traitors. Fascism was pioneered to preserve the aristocracy and the capitalists alike, by turning worker against worker along ethnic and national lines.
It was the socialists who were the traitors. They sought to end the old world and bring about a new one. And they nearly did it.
Imagine how silent and unpolluted NK is, ngl it would be a great vacation if not for the moral concerns
Just don’t say anything against Dear Leader or you’ll come back catatonic then die like that other American tourist.
I seem to remember he took a poster off the wall to keep as a souvenir, so they killed him. Don’t touch the posters, people.
Damn, you’re right. I wouldn’t want to vacation anywhere that has a long history of atrocious civil rights abuses.
