@SaanichGuy@bitboxer@fenkt@MrLaCave I will never be thankful enough to US for helping my country (Italy) to get rid of fascists. Yet I have to say that the fight against racism was all but the target of USA in the '40s. The Republican Constitution of 1948 swept away all form of racism from Italy's law. Other European countries did the same. USA had to wait the '60s for declaring racial segregation a crime.
@SaanichGuy@bitboxer@fenkt@MrLaCave maybe you are right. But, as far as I can see, Musk and Trump are way nearer to what I call fascism than Meloni has never been.
@leobm@SaanichGuy@bitboxer@fenkt@MrLaCave Yes she is far right and anti communist/socialist but, at least she publicy addressed fascism as 'evil' more than once. She's a EU/Ukraine supporter and on the "anti Putin" side. Very different from (just for saying) Victor Orban. There are other italian leaders (Salvini) in her same side that are closer to Putin, Trump and Orban.
I've see alcoholics doing succesful rehabs. I've never seen a really reformed fascist. A leopard cannot change its spots. #Meloni is just a lot more intelligent than, say #Trump. Her spots will become a lot more evident, as she and her party consolidate power, just like Trump in his 2nd term. This is my forecast, *if* Meloni...
@HistoPol@leobm@SaanichGuy@bitboxer@fenkt@MrLaCave When she was in her teen, she followed neo fascists organizations but now no. She simply can't. She avoided 'fascism' carefully since a long time. She even addressed fascism as 'evil'. The fascist party is banned from italian politics and it's a formal crime as casted in the 1948 constitution. She's far right. Ultra conservative. But in the very moment she would say the words 'I'm fascist' or pay homage to Mussolini, she would be charged.
Doing a quick research of German-language press (SZ, NZZ, DW,) I'd say I've done too much marketing to accept a real difference b/w #NeoFascist and "#PostFascist."
...is ruled by the 👉ultra-right #GiorgiaMeloni. She is also known as a post-fascist.👈 She distances herself from the historical Mussolini fascism. But👉 her critics don't believe her👈... "
