It seems it cannot be repeated too often... Mussolini was a Socialist. But experience in WWI convinced him that Socialism should not be a class struggle, dividing people, but a means whereby the State can bring and bind people together - Fascisti = bundle - for the common good. Fascism then, bundling/bringing together, was not ideologically Right-wing, but Left-wing rooted in Socialism which is empowerment of the State over the individual (collectivism not individualism), central economic planning and control.
To add to that, in his lived experience, communism (he was communist originally) in practice meant that the nation becoming communist also put itself under the heel of Soviet Russia, uner Lenin.
And communism is, as I'm sure you know, a universalist ideology and theory of economics, with the entire world becoming communist sooner or later, and by becoming such all lines of conflict - racial, religious, financial, resources - are eliminated.
What Mussolini did was simple. He removed the internationalist part of communism, rebranding it as fascism to appeal to old roman times, and pointed out that (international) capitalism has no loyalty to people, culture, nation or anything else but profit for the profiteers, a any cost to anyone else.
Given the financial situation in Italy and virtually all of Europe, with depression and even starvation all the while the old rich elites and the capitalist riche nouveau floated on top without lifting a finger to help their kinsmen... recall Chesteton's words on why the rich are never nationalists or patriots or loyal to anything but capital - they can always move to New Guinea with their yacht, as he put it.
Is it a wonder people listened to him? Is it any wonder today, since international capital has captured democratic governements and states (and vice versa), that more and more peoples in Europe and elsewhere can only see banding together along the old ehtnic, cultural and racial lines as the only viable alternative?
It is the elites, state and private, against the people. Again. Didn't have to be that way, but it is.
And Mussolini’s technocratic, Statist top-down solution of social and economic control to domesticate communism, is the basis for all Western Governments today. Je suis Mussolini?
In Europe ‘The State’ is the EU - the putative exemplar for a single Global State with its technocratic tyranny. One State to rule them all.
On the other hand, even after the wolves devour both sun and moon and the sky falls in the ocean and the tree burns, green grass will grow anew on Idavall, where heroes gather.
(Side note to whom it may concern, whether happy news or not: I will not be posting for several weeks, perhaps months, as I have accepted some timely projects. I only make mention so M. Sim and peeps know of my seeming disappearance. Again whether it brings sorrow or joy, whether ally or detractor, rest assured of my re-appearance.)
Side note edit: I *will* find *some* time to read M. Sim and posters, so watch what you write that I don't have to "correct" you. ;-)
Best I can do is the founder subscription. I think it's $10 more a year and you get a cool little avatar flair. If you want to spend more than that, your best bet is to give a gift sub (if you can find a person you like -- or hate -- enough).
Well, I would trust a Paypal replacement, but not before transporter technology was safely in the hands of the rebels, er...did I say reb...I mean the (uncaptured) private sector. I'm sure you understand!
The Meloni victory points toward a counter-reaction to the EU and Italy's in-place leaders. It's not necessarily that Brothers of Italy is far-right; it's probably more that the party's rhetoric has become more aggressive in response to the covid policies especially.
And it's really a continuation of the counter-reaction we saw in 2016 with Trump and Brexit. The little people aren't really too fond of the ivory tower elites galivanting across the globe and telling the plebes they need to cut back on their carbon footprint.
Regarding the EU.. having lived in Europe for 13 years and travelled the continent extensively, I’m breaking a personal rule and screaming “ I TOLD YOU SO!” My Dad and I use to muse over the formation of the EU...Europeans love bureaucracy and could they have come up with a more bloated bureaucratic organization? Other than to serve the elite ( many still “titled” aristocrats) , how has the EU been helpful to Europeans... I can see how economically it could be beneficial...but again, that’s not the real agenda.
IMO as a former European, there are two main reasons for the EU's attraction for small European countries, one is the bribery of generous infrastructure funding (taken from the wealthier members) to modernize many of these smaller states, bringing some of them out of basic poverty and the other, with the memory of Hitler, is a feeling of protection belonging to a big club. The attraction for the biggest wealthiest countries like France and Germany is the ability to dominate the rest and indeed, it has been Germany, once again, ruling the roost.
"The attraction for the biggest wealthiest countries like France and Germany is the ability to dominate the rest...": Without killing each other first.
It is also true, however, that in 2013 President Barack Obama signed into law the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act (H.R. 5736), making it legal for government-produced media—such as was broadcast overseas by Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other outlets throughout the Cold War—to be directed toward U.S. citizens themselves. Needless to say, such government-penned narratives spin the news so as to reflect favorably upon the United States. To understand the sheer power of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, it suffices to do a quick Google of the name of this piece of legislation to see how it has generated a logical quandary befitting of Orwell’s Nineteen Eigthy-Four. For if it is true that the American people are being propagandized by the U.S. government through its control of the major media outlets and tech giants, then any assertion to that effect will be countered—and ultimately defeated—by yet more government propaganda.
The fact that the complete negation of the original Smith-Mundt Act was deceptively labeled the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act marked the first stage in what might be termed the Orwellian turn. Unsurprisingly, a lengthy list of articles calling out the alleged piece of “disinformation” that “Barack Obama legalized government propaganda against citizens” appears at the top of the Google search results. Among the critics who warned about the new Act was now-deceased investigative journalist Michael Hastings, who also, it is worth mentioning, expressed concern about the dangerous influence of the Pentagon’s “public relations” wing, which already by 2009 employed 27,000 persons full-time as war marketeers.
When the law enforcers refuse to abide by the law, anarchy has arrived. But they do enforce the law, it seems, but only selectively. Since their efforts align with a corrupt press, we hear nothing except in certain places. The treatment of the J6 rioters illustrates the dual system of justice and how corrupt it has become. The sentences passed down on people who were non-violent are excessively harsh. They suppose they are sending a message but we observe how unfair the entire process has become. Jury of peers who uniformly detest those on trial; change of venue not permitted. No bail, limited access to lawyers, horrid treatment while in custody. Are these allegations true? We can't be sure because the same corrupt press refuses to check. Even Congress has been shunted aside to visit.
As your Substack so artfully says "Screaming into the void".
Take a look at this. A J6 committee leader calling Ray Epps the victim. What are the odds that the guy who's most directly implicated with telling people to go into the capitol is the ONLY 'victim' here?
That's quite a tweet along with the commentary. The J6 story has yet to be told. My guess is that it won't be pretty. I ask "who gave the order to shoot flash bangs into a crowd that had nowhere to get away"? Want to turn a crowd into a mob into a riot, then do that. Who were those using bull horns to excite the crowd? More noise and confusion to agitate. A spark, boom!
SimCom: I didn’t know that it was SOP a few decades ago. Naive. But you just answered your own question. It’s sites like yours that brings a lot of the actual facts to the forefront. I just always shoot from the hip but don’t always have facts to back me up…….native intelligence or whatever, but you shoot and have the facts to back you up. That makes the all important difference.
If wanting to put a stop to migration policy which costs us 3% of our annual GNP (Gross National Product), gives even illegal migrants formerly ISIL-soldiers and torturers free all-inclusive resiency and citizenship for life, migration of arabs an negroes and afghans having increased the frequency of rape with 1400% in under ten years, daily shootings, weekly bombings, rampant abuse, drug sales, moslems burning firetrucks, ambulances, police vehicles, rampaging gans of this scum of the Earth-races looting and plundering stores and shops, and on and on and on - F*cking sign me up as fascist then!
Because that's the reality. That's what happens when you let these races into your nation. That's why they call all us patriots "fascists" and worse - because the good liberal, neoliberal and libertarian and objecitivst and Randian elites have not only shat the bead but set fire to it too, and can't own up to being wrong wrong wrong for more than 30 years regarding their cosmopolitanism, all races being equal and the rest of that sh*t.
Inside 30 years, my people will be a non-moslem minority in our own nation. Do you know what happens next?
Genocide. Every time moslems become many enough. Every time throughout history.
The italians aren't stupider than they see what's happening in Greece, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Britain, Sweden - and can compare to Poland, Romania, Hungary and Russia where they vrtually zero negroes, zero arabs, zero moslems, and not a tenth of our problems.
I guess media, yours as well as ours, must depserately cover this up as hard as possible. Mammon forbid the acknowledge what the "anti-racist" measures taken since the 1960s have resulted in, seeing as they have always cheered it on, and always moved away from the consequences.
So I''ll happily take being called fascist and worse by such fifth columnists as work the media.
It's sort of a strange situation because the smaller Euro states see the impact immediately and almost always push back against it. The 'leaders' don't seem to understand this.
In virtually every nation in west/northern Europe, all parties left of right (and our right is left of US liberal/progressives...) have invested all their credibility and political capital in "massmigration from the arab world/Africa is the only way to save us" combined with "nationalism is evil".
In Sweden, multiculturalism was made constitutional law in 1976.
So when they call me, and others like me - patriots fighting for the survival of our kultur and people - nazis,sexists, fascists, islamophobes and so on trying to scare us into silence with the magic of words, more and more of us answers with:
"Yeah? So what, what're you gonna do about it, huh? Gonna start something?"
Because honestly? We are that far backed into the corner. Think Israel, but without weapons.
Exactly…..everything you have laid out on your essay, EVERYTHING, is happening very fast….so fast it’s like you don’t know where to turn to swipe it down.
Who do I scream at first. And, if I do, will I be Marked and have the gestapo at my door?
And Mr. McConnell apparently would rather be Minority leader. He must know that if *his* Party takes the Senate, he will be replaced as Majority leader.
I started to open my eyes when Bill and Hillary were elected way back when. I didn’t have a computer then….didn’t have a clue what to do with one, so I bought an IBM select typewriter……and wrote to representatives and ranted and raved…….that wasn’t fast enough, so bought a computer. I really felt at the time with the Clintons that that was the beginning of the end to our “taking-it-for-granted” our freedom so I not only emailed, I followed up with hostile phone calls………by now, I’m probably on everyone’s list to smash down…….I have to take a break now as I’m either going to go out on my ledge or go stand in traffic and scream……I’ll get back to you……as you were
On the contrary, you sound quite reasonable. Take care of yourself, Denise, and don't forget that there are quiet millions who are quietly working to grow that quiet corner of yours. Short of violence, no one, even a wayward "majority," can do anything to you that can't be remedied, God willing.
Oh, Timothy…….you know when you said……….”God willing”……well I always used to say, “God willing and the creek don’t rise”……….I don’t know where I heard that from when I was a child but it just seemed quaint to me. And……..THANKS!

Already looking forward to having you back! Sometimes real life just get in the way. ;)
I would very much like for you to create a "super-subber" subscription so I don't feel like I am ripping you off at my current rate.

Will do. Do you also accept donations?
I'm not sure if there's any type of option for that. Maybe when there's a replacement for Paypal? 😂
Well, I would trust a Paypal replacement, but not before transporter technology was safely in the hands of the rebels, er...did I say reb...I mean the (uncaptured) private sector. I'm sure you understand!
The media is a bottomless bag of tools and the FBI is a barrel full of rot.
The Meloni victory points toward a counter-reaction to the EU and Italy's in-place leaders. It's not necessarily that Brothers of Italy is far-right; it's probably more that the party's rhetoric has become more aggressive in response to the covid policies especially.
I'm worried the media, Google and the social media platforms are too powerful and incestuous with the bureaucracy to "allow" that to happen in the US.
And it's really a continuation of the counter-reaction we saw in 2016 with Trump and Brexit. The little people aren't really too fond of the ivory tower elites galivanting across the globe and telling the plebes they need to cut back on their carbon footprint.

And not ruling very wisely, IMO. Selfishly, but not wisely.
An EU "Belt-and-Road" bribery scheme.
But Brexit and now Italy give hope.
"The attraction for the biggest wealthiest countries like France and Germany is the ability to dominate the rest...": Without killing each other first.
When you have power over the currency, you have nearly complete power -- as Ursula demonstrates here.
Exactly.
Now wouldn’t it be great if the media actually did their fucking job and reported all this FBI malfeasance?? But they won’t, and nothing will happen.
It’s up to people like us who are normally calm, cool and collected………but not anymore.
They're too busy being paid by the FBI/Swamp after Obama 'modernized' the Smith-Mundt Act

Did you ever see this?
https://www.revolver.news/2021/12/damning-new-details-massive-web-unindicted-operators-january-6/
It was a set-up. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the RINO's were involved.
Yep. And everything that's happened since has only made him MORE suspicious....
That's quite a tweet along with the commentary. The J6 story has yet to be told. My guess is that it won't be pretty.

And Ray Epps played a part.
J6 was clearly a Dem/FBI scam from TDS beginning to star-chamber end.
Agent provocateurs have been SOP at large gatherings for at least a few decades now. I don't know how to solve the problem.

The number of evil dynasties we've collected these past 30 years, it's something, isn't it?

All of this begs the question:
Where the FUCK IS THE GOP?!
Begging. (We have to elect them in sufficient numbers, after all.)
https://thefederalist.com/2022/09/27/56-gop-members-beg-their-colleagues-to-do-anything-to-stop-bidens-destructive-agenda/
Agree.
Keeping their powder dry, LOL!
They’re all huddled in a corner checking their spines.
LOLOLOL!
I'm starting to think a 3rd party would be good. Basically we have it now, but it's enveloped by the GOP elite.
I hope things are as peaceful as it went in Italy........
3rd and 4th parties. The Repocrats and Demopublicans have betrayed the electorate for 40 years.
So...new names for the neo-cons and the neo-libs, respectively (or visa versa)?
Can the PartyofSocialism finish the job of purging Dem moderates? Will the PartyofCapitalism stay the Party of crony-Capitalism that it has become?
And most important of all, will the spurned freedomistas forge a new Party that will finally defeat the rotten neo-twin Statist establishments?
Is it intentional you chose PartyofSocialism and PartyofCapitalism?
Because they shorten to PoS and PoC, and I feel it would be a great shame if such deviousness (meant as a compliment!) was to go unlauded.
No, Sir. That deviousness (ditto!) is all yours! (But that you would think me capable is compliment enough for me. Thank you!)
Very true
Like at a coat check?
Exactly…..everything you have laid out on your essay, EVERYTHING, is happening very fast….so fast it’s like you don’t know where to turn to swipe it down.
Who do I scream at first. And, if I do, will I be Marked and have the gestapo at my door?
Yes.
I'm trying to decide whether 'tis best to be one of the first or one of the last to have my door "knocked upon".
Fingers crossed, neither.
If you're one of the last, there will be nobody left to fight for you.
What you just said, is chilling and so true.
Indeed. Were it not for the fairly young progeny, it would be a no brainer.
Right over there in the public loo, practicing the Pontius Pilatus act.
From what I can see, they're desperately trying to claw defeat from the hands of victory.

And Mr. McConnell apparently would rather be Minority leader. He must know that if *his* Party takes the Senate, he will be replaced as Majority leader.
Exactly. I was typing essentially the same thing.
It's power and lack of balls. They too are not interested in why Trump (for example) was elected.
Im convinced McConnell would rather be in the minority than support what We The People want.
Oh, God, yes……..was there ever any doubt?!
Well I guess the last 6 years have really opened my eyes.
I started to open my eyes when Bill and Hillary were elected way back when. I didn’t have a computer then….didn’t have a clue what to do with one, so I bought an IBM select typewriter……and wrote to representatives and ranted and raved…….that wasn’t fast enough, so bought a computer.

Yeah I should've. I was too busy chasing girls in my mid twenties. Thank God I met my wife!...:)
I thought about getting a safe deposit box (@ a bank) a few years ago. I have been ever so grateful that I didn't for quite awhile now.
Absolutely…….Nothing is safe……better not leave a trace of anything we do as free people
Which means, of course, we are not free at all.
Oh, God, I sound like a loon………that’s what these people have done to me…….going to go quietly to my corner, now.
On the contrary, you sound quite reasonable. Take care of yourself, Denise, and don't forget that there are quiet millions who are quietly working to grow that quiet corner of yours. Short of violence, no one, even a wayward "majority," can do anything to you that can't be remedied, God willing.
Oh, Timothy…….you know when you said……….”God willing”……well I always used to say, “God willing and the creek don’t rise”……….I don’t know where I heard that from when I was a child but it just seemed quaint to me. And……..THANKS!
My Mom and her family, (now me, too), always said that.
Bandit, thanks for telling me that…..big smile!
