Benito Mussolini displayed casual antisemitism even before the 1930s, and Libyan Jews always suffered under Fascism, as did many other Eurafricans. The relative tolerance for European Jews up until 1938 was more of an opportunistic decision rather than one of principle, and the general tolerance for East African Jews was a means of attracting Jewish settlers to that area.

It is true that initially the German and Italian Fascists differed in their racial philosophies, but Italian Fascism’s white supremacy started to resemble the Third Reich’s as the German and Italian Fascists realized that they needed each other, and there is no evidence to suggest that Berlin explicitly pressured Rome into adopting its style of white supremacy.

Fascist Italy’s colonialism was an important model for the Third Reich’s, and the Fascists had a long‐term goal of recolonizing Africa.

fascism just also happens to be to [sic] closest ideology to National Socialism besides maybe “socialism with Chinese characteristics”.

Anticommunists who believe in the ‘red fascism’ caricature and approve of it are just as blockheaded as the other anticommunists who take it seriously.

A neofascist approving of the PRC or any other people’s republic isn’t a ‘smoking gun’ that ‘red fascism’ is real. It’s evidence that he’s still gullible enough to fall for the capitalist media’s constant bullshit, just like every other anticommunist. No surprise there.
