Italy is bracing for a political earthquake as the most right-wing Government seen since World War Two is expected to be handed power following tomorrow’s election.

The potential emergence of a far-right government in Italy has put the European Union on alert for disruptions - with fears that the unity of the war in Ukraine could be jeopardised.

The leader of the post-fascist Brothers of Italy Party, Giorgia Meloni, is slated to be a big winner in Sunday’s election, becoming Italy’s first female Prime Minister.

“Braces” mind you.

Not “celebrates” or “anticipates” or “hopes for.”

Nope. It “braces.”

Yes, even EU’s Fuhrer wannabe Von Der Leyen has even threatened them in a message that they need to change their ways (*cough* election tampering *cough*) or be put in place, like Poland and Hungary....................

Fascism is far left-wing.

That is what Italy was under in World War 2.

You are 100% correct.

As my tag line suggests, the left have long made a hobby out of pretending it’s right-wing.

Fascism is far left-wing.

Exactly! A true and accurate political spectrum would have all totalitarian top down governments (e.g. Communist, Fascist) on one end of the spectrum and as you go to the other end of the spectrum have those governments that are rooted in the individuality and freedoms of the people.

Oh yeah, Italy's Giorgia Meloni obviously looks exactly like an "evil, extreme, far-right, fascist, monster dictator" alright .................. NOT.

The far-left liberal/socialist/communist fear-mongers are exactly the same in the United States, Italy, and in every other country. Literally no difference, as far as I can tell.

“Fascism is far left-wing.”

Thought that immediately upon reading the headline.

Mussolini was NOT right wing let alone “far right wing”.

“In real time, Benito Mussolini and his movement – fascism or national socialism – was of the left. Mussolini was a great admirer of Karl Marx and Marx’s principle of revolutionary socialism.”

She’s probably going to get the same treatment from the leftists in Italy as President Trump constantly gets from the Democrats/RINOs in the U.S. Sad.

In Europe, a left-winger is a devotee of Marxist-Leninism

A right-winger is just a Marxist.

I just looked up her views and policy proposals and a lot of them match up well with Trump views and policies. Which, of course, means the leftists in Italy will despise her just like the leftists in the U.S. despise President Trump. Heck, all Democrats/RINOs are still totally obsessed with President Trump and he’s been out of office for two years! Insane leftists.

Italy is a constant “political earthquake”. PMs only last a few years.

Italy would be the excuse, not the reason.
