From what I've read, Mussolini hated Hitlers racist tendencies and even believed that Blacks and Jews were just as capable of being as good a Fascist as anyone else.

Fascist Italy was one of the few countries within the Nazi sphere that refused to deport any Jews to Germany (where they would be almost immediately exterminated.) Denmark was another.

France couldn't ship their Jews off quick enough.

I knew there had to be something on which I could agree with Benito.

All of the followers of Marxist philosophy are misfits of one kind or another. They are either too untalented, too crazy or too lazy to hold a regular job, so they resort to either petty crime, organized crime or government (Institutional Organized Crime) assistance. They are misfits! Murderous Misfits!

Obamanomics was more like fascism than socialism

It is. But fascism is just a flavor of socialism.

I’m not sure what you mean by “corrupt.” Both Lenin and Stalin were more than happy to murder civilians by the thousands (Lenin) or millions (Stalin) to attain political goals, and Stalin in particular murdered many who were closest to him, or in any sort of leadership positions (the purges) out of paranoia. Yes Obama cut his political teeth in uber politically corrupt Chicago, and surely that affected his Marxist ideals....but I don’t know that that makes him comparable to mass-murdering communists.

Thanks for the article.

It goes a long way in putting to words the beliefs and thoughts of many.

Recently...around here, the basic premises as outlined (in the article) seem to have fallen by the wayside, in discussion of much else. We must not lose sight of what is important.

By corrupt I mean willing to compromise their principles for cash. Stalin got his gold by murdering perhaps millions in the frozen gold fields of Kolyma. Perhaps the remnant of America's fine political structure (the Constitution) is preventing Obama from killing 75 million Americans as his mentor, former Weatherman terrorist, Bill Ayers, laid down in his "Prairie Fire" book (dedicated RFK's murderer, Sirhan Sirhan).
