Exit polls have Meloni’s coalition to have 45% of the vote. The imperial core is falling to fascism left, right and centre. Well, right and centre anyway. If we want a revolution we must hurry - I fear it may soon be too late to hold our ground against the fascists.

    Exactly, fascism brought the chickens home to roost, not to mention it tried to imitate, and thus rival the imperialist powers and that’s why it’s vilified.

    Western liberals denounce fascism like how the British and Americans in the Colonial Era condemned Spanish colonialism, as if they themselves weren’t or aren’t just as brutal and power-hungry as those they criticize.

      Yup, hitler was very explicit that he wanted to imitate in europe what the US did to its native population… nazis called it lebensraum, while the US called it manifest destiny.

      The difference? The US succeeded at its genocide / continent theft, while the nazis failed. So really fascism as a form of government is much worse at doing what bourgeois democracies were capable of acheiving.
