>> Which do you think he was? <<

You mean Mussolini?

I think he was a guy who:

1. started out on the left,

2. decided he could get more support by soft-pedaling his leftist ideas, and then by appealing to nationalist and anti-foreign sentiments,

3. developed a strong cult of followers based mainly on his vociferous personality rather than specific policies,

4. promised to return his country to greatness, especially by appealing to its frustrated middle class,

5. held monster-sized rallies,

6. took power and made the trains run on time,

7. led his country to disaster,

8. was ultimately disowned by his people, after yuuuge damage had been done.

Did I forget anything important?
