She had the nerve to say she is a woman, a mother and a Christian and she loves Italy in one of her speeches which, of course, makes her a hard right fascist in the European media

That doesn’t even happen here, sadly.

People of Italy take down the UN flag and put up the Italian one. People are wide awake don’t let our state run media convince you otherwise.

Mussolini was hard Left. Benito Mussolini was an ardent SOCIALIST.

He started his political career as a member of the Italian Socialist Party for 14 years. In 1910, he was appointed editor of the weekly La Lotta di Classe (The Class Struggle), and the following year he published an essay entitled “The Trentino as seen by a Socialist.”

He was kicked out of the party because wanted Italy to join WWI. When kicked out he said:
“Do not believe, even for a moment, that by stripping me of my membership card you do the same to my Socialist beliefs, nor that you would restrain me of continuing to work in favor of Socialism and of the Revolution.”

In fact, in 1943, Benito Mussolini promoted the “socialization of the economy,” also known as fascist socialization; for this process Mussolini sought the advice of the founder of the Italian Communist Party, Nicola Bombacci; the communist was the main intellectual author of the “Verona Manifesto,” the historical declaration with which fascism promoted this process of economic “socialization” to deepen anti-capitalism and autarchism, and in which Italy became known as the “Italian Social Republic.”

People claiming socialism is the opposite of fascism. No, to quote Giovanni Gentile, a neo-Hegelian philosopher, was the intellectual author of the “doctrine of fascism” (and advisor to Mussolini and Hitler):

“Fascism is a form of socialism, in fact, it is its most viable form.”

Until Italy has the self-discipline to live within its means, the EU will have Italy by its short hairs.

Sunny Italy needs to ditch the dysfunctional EU and join the global south.

This winter while Germany freezes would be the perfect time say Basta!

Seems that way. Not seeing what is ‘far right’. He’s concerned about illegal immigration, and wants to cut taxes. Oh my. The horror.

‘On an economic level, it has deferred to the center-right coalition’s position that the next government should cut sales taxes on certain goods to alleviate the cost-of-living crisis, and has said Italy should renegotiate its Covid-19 recovery funds with the EU.

Fratelli d’Italia has been pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine and supports sanctions against Russia, unlike Lega which is ambivalent about those measures.’

Problem is that the Communists run the cities in Italy, and that won’t change.

After visiting Italy a few months ago, I vow never to go back, it’s a dumpster fire.

This from a media that has been all behind Ukraine, where Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera is worshiped and where Azov members openly sport tattoos of Nazi symbols and Hitler.

The only criteria you need to be called HARD right in Europe is anti-immigration.... otherwise they will all govern pretty much as social welfare systems.

Defiantely we need to start embracing the term hard or far right and say what it means actually. Don’t let media define us or the terms

That would be a budding alliance, Italy, Poland and Hungary and perhaps the other Balkan countries

Sadly, Germany with the European Union bullcrap, allowed Angela Merkel to do something the Kaiser and Hitler only dreamed of...controlling ALL OF EUROPE!!

And they have done such a knock-out job, Great Britain has jumped ship, and Italy is definitely this about it!!
