On April 28, 1945, “Il Duce,” Benito Mussolini, and his mistress, Clara Petacci, are shot by Italian partisans who had captured the couple as they attempted to flee to Switzerland.
The 61-year-old deposed former dictator of Italy was established by his German allies as the figurehead of a puppet government in northern Italy during the German occupation toward the close of the war. As the Allies fought their way up the Italian peninsula, defeat of the Axis powers all but certain, Mussolini considered his options. Not wanting to fall into the hands of either the British or the Americans, and knowing that the communist partisans, who had been fighting the remnants of roving Italian fascist soldiers and thugs in the north, would try him as a war criminal, he settled on escape to a neutral country.
He and his mistress made it to the Swiss border, only to discover that the guards had crossed over to the partisan side. Knowing they would not let him pass, he disguised himself in a Luftwaffe coat and helmet, hoping to slip into Austria with some German soldiers. His subterfuge proved incompetent, and he and Petacci were discovered by partisans and shot, their bodies then transported by truck to Milan, where they were hung upside down and displayed publicly for revilement by the masses.

Good times. Not enough of this kind of behavior from the citizenry.
Dorothy is on her way to see the wizard, go with her and get that brain he’s giving away. Partisian thugs murdering a patriotic nationalist who loved his country and was being hounded like Gaddafi
and suffered a similar display of contempt and humiliation of his corpse is what we need more of????
The misinformed telling the uninformed who become the illinformed.
Wow, you go from my disapproval of government to my not believing parents should have authority over the children they gave birth to and are responsible for. Desperate to make a point are we?? Maybe you are having trouble distinguishing between the concept of government (something that comes about through force and violence and from which there is no voluntary escape), and a society of voluntary cooperation in which there can still be people in leadership roles, etc. but based on voluntary consent of all, with the ability to say no. I would say that history is on my side.
The Founding betrayers did not give us a limited government answerable to an armed citizenry, they took that away and gave us the Constitution.
Yup. Nearly all Freemasons. The layout of Wash. D.C. reeks of satanic freemason symbolism.
What he did right was remove most of the Jewish Sicilian Mafia from the countryside where they were ruling even the smallest hamlets with a reign of terror like today’s Ukraine.
“Why have we been propagandized to hate Mussolini so much?”
Could it be because Falangist Fascism was springing up all over as the only workable antidote to the triple terrorism of Communism,Capitalism and their little sister Libertarianism. Peron and Vargas in S. America, Franco in Spain and movements in many other countries. It permits strong honest religion a seat at the table along with the country peasant and corporate executive.
He is seen as it’s father even today so he must be slandered at all times.
Before we are burdened with the lie that gets repeated until it becomes truth, let me head it off at the pass.
Favorite lie #1.
Mussolini said Fascism is basically the marriage of government and corporations.
What he really said.

Did you actually read the drivel you just linked in your post? He was an imperialist, fascist, dictator by his own admission. Sorry, I can’t be an apologist for every piece of shit in history that got the shitty end of their own deal in the end. It’s like waving the banner for your favorite politician who rose up from the darkest recesses of the human gene pool to flex their will on a another human being. No thanks.
Your comments prove what a tiny world you have stuck yourself in there Boogster.
Do you have some compelling evidence not generated and distributed by the “Company” knowledge factory?
Ya, the shit you just linked to dumb ass.. Education is not a bad thing, you should try it some day. You posted that crap, I just read it…. The biggest waist of 10 minutes in my life.. You kick against the prick my friend. Some people just can’t resist.
I don’t post things I don’t read boogsie. Show me the proof of your argument.
Another useful idiot unwittingly carrying water for the B3rg. I say unwitting because you aren’t showing any witts thus far.
Okay genius, from your link, one of many of his BS babble.
” Never before have the peoples thirsted for authority,
direction, order, as they do now. If each age has its
doctrine, then innumerable symptoms indicate that
the doctrine of our age is the Fascist. That it is
vital is shown by the fact that it has aroused a
faith; that this faith has conquered souls is shown
by the fact that Fascism can point to its fallen
heroes and its martyrs.”
You read what you post. Ya right
You’re obfuscating.
I challenged your trashing of him and asked for some proof besides your opinion. Show me where he is so evil. Europe after the war and firmly in the hands of the satanic communist jewish banker partnership that they were begging for relief. Until you come up with some compelling arguments to prove he was worse than the capitalist/communist/liberal scum, carpet bagging murderers who were at that time still purging by the millions, you are just all hat and no cattle. You haven’t the foggiest notion of what you trash so eagerly.
Listen dick head, I’m not implying that I am on one side or the other. GOOSE STEPPING WENNIES LIKE YOURSELF do that kind of shit. My angle is lot more simple than that. I think the noose is an excellent solution for people inspired to rule over other people. It takes a special kind of “fucked up” for a man who to wants to rule over a another man. That’s how you get these asshole so called leaders that fuck your life while you type away in you momies basement looking at your Hitler poster on the wall above your key board with a rolled up poster of Mussolini shoved up your ass while your jacking off, with grim smile, thinking of how great it would be if only they could be your master because they think like you think and you need a real role model in your life to make you feel secure.
I plainly don’t like any of these fucking dicks. I don’t care what color, race, creed or country they hale from. Is that witty enough for ya Mr. wizard?
You have just proved you are just a trash talking idiot without a fact to your stupid name.
Rugged individualist huh.. You just conjure up trash to throw at people you don’t have a clue about whether it be me or Mussolini.
Lucky you, I’m now just like you and all hat and no cattle or we would spend a week in verbal combat and In the old days would have invited you out to my place to settle it. . As it is I just can’t anymore so go ahead and be a big ass to your heart’s content.
Rugged individualist huh? You have just proved you’re just a mouthy jerk without a fact to your name. All you have is trash talking and one liners you got from commie script writers. Talking trash about people you know nothing about whether it be me or Mussolini.
Lucky you today because like you I am now all hat and no cattle. In the not so distant past I would take you on a week long verbal war or even invited you out to settle it in the mountains. But no can do now so I’ll just have to let you asshole yourself to your heart’s content. What a pity. I could have had some fun with you but would be accused of clubbing seals.
So go ahead and be right and rugged.
NPC’s don’t know they are NPCs
Not only that, your favorite dictator never quoted this – “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”
Because he didn’t want to imply that fascism was a bad thing . A lot like our illustrious leadership today here in the good old USSofA. Sheesh! History doesn’t repeat, but it sure does rhyme
You dumb buttwipe. I said it was a lie. I didn’t say he said that. Tag along with Libertybelle and ask the Wiz for a brain when you get to Oz.
Go back and read it real slow. My little man
I don’t know why I argue with people who love politicians, what ever era they lord from, I haven’t seen one yet that I could say I liked or would defend. They all suck ass to some level.
Have it your way pal.
So, the ends justify the means?
Do you believe that’s a philosophy worth pursuing?
Seems he thinks invading and killing others is fine, too. Because, you know, others do it.
When you defended him by saying “that’s it?” in response to his killing tens of thousands in Ethiopia, you certainly did. You were saying it was all good.
Has there ever been a dictator you DIDN’T like?
What about Idi Amin?
Well, he did invade Ethiopia, killing a fair number of Ethiopians. There is that. As a start.
That is incredible. Invading and killing others is ok because someone else does it, too? That is infantile. The guy killed tens of thousands invading Ethiopia. There is no making that right. It is evil and wrong, no matter who does it.
They didn’t invade anyone. They revolted internally against tyranny. Mussolini invaded Ethiopia for his own ends. Talk about straw men.
Loads of bad deeds. Certainly. That it was done doesn’t make any of it right. Quite the opposite. But you are an apologist for Mussolini. He deserves to be hated for what he did. He killed innocents. In a war of aggression.
What about Idi Amin? You may be an unwitting victim of a Zionist misinformation campaign.
Is there another viewpoint?
“Idi Amin was no fool. Despite the numerous caricatures as a lunatic murderer he was a towering figure both in Uganda and the African continent, and he outwitted all his opponents until his downfall. When he came into power after having engineered a military coup to overthrow President Milton Obote, the nemesis of Britain, he was the darling of the West. He was lavishly praised for his bravery in ridding Uganda of a dictator who had increasingly become a thorn in Britain’s side. But when he began to make demands on Britain to discharge its aid commitments to Uganda, the British chose to ridicule him for his ‘buffoonery’. He turned instead to Libya for his immediate financial needs, and that was the beginning of both the widening gulf between Britain and Idi Amin, and also the establishment of a new dictator in Africa. He was an uneducated man, but he was deeply cunning and calculating. With his effusive charm and outward affability he was able to disarm his enemies and then catch them unawares. Though he ran his administration with the help of the elite civil servants of the country it was by his animal instincts that he kept himself in power. As internal economic problems grew, he made scapegoats of the Asians of Uganda, blaming them for all the ills of the country. In a masterstroke he succeeded in expelling the Asian community from Uganda in 1972 without any serious repercussions from the West. He wrested away the economy of Uganda from the hands of the Asians and put it into the lap of the Africans of his country, who loved him for this and his other exploits in a way that can only be compared to the way Germans had once loved Hitler.”
Mussolini was just another tin horn dictator who reached for the stars and pulled back the fires of hell. He is no different than any other megalomaniac who rises to power and likes the stimuli.
Pick you favorite one from the annals of history from today to infinity, to the very beginnings of man kind.
“It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity.”
― Benito Mussolini
Sound familiar?
I always veer towards rugged individualism as my ideal form of Government.
By the way Benito Mussolini would have wanted me hung for making that last statement.
“I always veer towards rugged individualism as my ideal form of Government.”
Hey! He made the trains run on time!!! (sarc)
