New Italian PM says “we will never be slaves…at the mercy of financial speculators.” Sounds just like 1930s in Italy and Germany. No thanks for the memories.
Mussolini enjoyed publicly referring to Jewish people as “financial speculators” who needed to be controlled.
When a Fascist leader speaks, whether in Europe or America, never brush aside what you are hearing as meaningless rhetoric. Do not fail to learn from the history of the 1930s.
History of the 1930s shows that fascist leaders in the United States have been very eager to link up and pool resources, often in secret, with fascist leaders in Europe. Monitor carefully and beware.
And please never take it at face value when and if fascist leaders in America or Europe tell you that they have no personal or political animus toward Jews or other minority groups in society. Too many examples in history tell us the opposite.
