Mussolini, no Jew, brought "fascism" into modern usage by choosing the name for his party.

Jeesh--stop with the crap sources and ignorance!

Mussolini was a very good friend of the Jewish Bolsheviks in his early days when he was living as an illegal alien in Switzerland.

While I am a race realist and nationalist, Mussolini was in most instances little more than a gangster and a preening shitbag.

On the good side, he did introduce the 8 hour day in Italy against the preference of Italian plutocrats and took steps to modernize Italian infrastructure.

But his military exploits in the Balkans and in Ethiopia were simply stupid and catastrophic and he failed to take advantage of the oil wealth that was open to Italian exploitation in Libya.

On the other hand, he did clean out a lot of Commies and Mafiosi, although they were brought back to power post war by the CIA.

I don't give him a very high score as a politician. He was certainly no Franco, who fought off the Commies AND managed to stay out of WW2..
