Well...There it is. Fascism returns to Italy.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy's new Prime Minister, gives a speech that could well have been given by Mussolini, himself.

Almost a century has passed, and it's October 1922, all over again.

She ends with a quote from the catholic writer – and literary anti-semite, G K Chesterton.

How fitting.

Hired violent thugs to beat and murder his critics, as he made promise after promise to the mob that he knew he neither would, nor could, ever keep.

When the rallies ended, and it came time to perform, his incompetence and lack of substance were on full display.

He launched...
A brutal invasion of Ethiopia, because the weakest bullies always look for the weakest to prey upon. It was supposed to be an easy win, and a big parade. But Ethiopia fought hard for 7 months. An absurdly large force of 200,000 Italian soldiers, with artillery and planes were...
