Exit polls have Meloni’s coalition to have 45% of the vote. The imperial core is falling to fascism left, right and centre. Well, right and centre anyway. If we want a revolution we must hurry - I fear it may soon be too late to hold our ground against the fascists.
Twitter fascists are already on the horn blaring that Mussolini was a socialist.
Parenti had said he was a socialist that quickly switched sides when given the opportunity for power and promotion
Actually even before, he was kicked from party in 1914 for breach of discipline and socialchauvinism. When he was back from war, he called himself “antimarxist socialist” and “national socialist”(!) but soon stopped even that. Lenin even made few remarks about how pity it was since Mussolini was very talented agitator.
Mussolini was the OG MAGA communist.

“Born in 1883, the son of a blacksmith, Benito Mussolini s early manhood was marked by street brawls, arrests, jailings, and violent radical political activities. Before World War I Mussolini was a socialist. A brilliant organizer, agitator, and gifted journalist, he became editor of the Socialist party’s official newspaper. Yet many of his comrades suspected him of being less interested in advancing socialism than in advancing himself. Indeed, when the Italian upper class tempted him with recognition, financial support, and the promise of power, he did not hesitate to switch sides. By the end of World War I, Mussolini, the socialist, who had organized strikes for workers and peasants had become Mussolini, the fascist, who broke strikes on behalf of financiers and landowners. Using the huge sums he received from wealthy interests, he projected himself onto the national scene as the acknowledged leader of i fasci di combattimento, a movement composed of black-shirted ex-army officers and sundry toughs who were guided by no clear political doctrine other than a militaristic patriotism and conservative dislike for anything associated with socialism and organized labor. The fascist Blackshirts spent their time attacking trade unionists, socialists, communists, and farm cooperatives.”

He in fact was never truly socialist because he mostly learned Marxism only through revisionists that ended up sympathetic of the reactionaries
In the same sense that Reagan was a union man
