Fascist Mussolini shirt pictured in Bernie Sanders campaign mailer
Washington Examiner ^ | February 18, 2020 | Emily Larsen

The Bernie Sanders campaign sent information to voters that included propaganda imagery from Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's National Fascist Party.

A man pictured in the Sanders campaign leaflet sent to Nevada voters by mail ahead of the state's Feb. 22 Democratic caucuses wears a black shirt with white lettering saying, "SI SI SI" (translating to "YES YES YES"), and a white face under his tan suit jacket. The image is a recreation of propaganda that pictured a large Mussolini stone face on the facade of the National Fascist Party headquarters in Rome, the Palazzo Braschi.

Similar shirts and clothing with the image of Mussolini's head sell online for around $20.

...

The "SI SI SI" facade was propaganda for the 1934 election, in which electors could only vote "yes" or "no" on a list of candidates created by Mussolini.

Amazing how much a young Mussolini resembled John Cazale

David Duke had run as a Democrat and an independent and nobody said boo.

David Duke recently praised the antisemitism of the Squad and they weren’t asked to rebuke Dukkke’s support for their Jew hate.

Mao and Mussolini.

Two sides of the same evil coin.

Both are socialists. The Communists want ownership of the means of production. The Nazi's were content to enlist the industrialists around themselves for support and then control the means of production from the government. The industrialists were left at the heads of their companies and were eager to be compliant to the whims of the Nazi's.

Bernie doesn't seem to be fond of government ownership, except, perhaps for healthcare. But he would not shrink from government control. Thus, he fits more into the Nazi mold. The Mussolini t-shirt in the Bernie rally was right in place!

Anyone who has looked deeper than the veneer of history the left has tried to rewrite knows that that fascists and NDSP were leftists.

This was a Video that Obama paid to have created in 2008 but wasn't used

If I remember right I think they called it "the wave"

He was a socialist as well. Pretty consistent.

I’d love a Mussolini shirt. The one with him hanging upside down.

If you scratch a socialist you’ll find a fascist underneath. They really want the power to impose their good ideas on the rest of us. Because after all, they believe they are the smartest people in the room and it is for our own good.
