Brother. The current prime minister of Italy thinks Mussolini was a good politician. Italy is run by neo-fascists.

    Sure, but to say thay Italy [as a whole] has always been like that discounts the efforts of a lot people, including former governments.

    Sorry if I'm nitpicking. I just want to stay conscious of the fact that the forces opposing fascism never went away, and that as history repeats itself, the good parts can also be repeated.

    You're not nitpicking. It's like saying USA is all Nazis. A country is more than its current government. Unfortunately neither Italy nor the USA have a particularly well functioning democracy.
