#Mussolini

💬L’affirmation pure et simple, dégagée de tout raisonnement et de toute preuve, est un des plus sûrs moyens de faire pénétrer une idée. L’affirmation n’a cependant d’influence réelle qu’à la condition d’être constamment répétée, et, le plus possible, dans les mêmes termes.

Gustave Le Bon, inspirateur de #Mussolini

💬La rhétorique #nazie se décrit par son indigence, une pauvreté linguistique et la répétition.

@martinschemm English translation of your post:

The US administration masters both greeting techniques to address both communists and fascists.

This is lived tolerance and openness to all sides. Nice to see that #Trump is in the ranks of communist/socialist icons like #Honecker and #Xi, while #Musk does the honor of the greats #Hitler and #Mussolini.

This is probably the wonderful freedom of expression that #Vance so bitterly misses in #Europe ...

Die US-Administration beherrscht beide Grußtechniken, um sowohl Kommunisten als auch Faschisten anzusprechen.

Das ist gelebte Toleranz und Offenheit nach allen Seiten hin. Schön zu sehen, dass #Trump sich in die Reihe kommunistischer/sozialistischer Ikonen wie #Honecker und #Xi stellt, während #Musk den Granden #Hitler und #Mussolini die Ehre erweist.

Das ist wohl die wunderbare Meinungsfreiheit, die #Vance in #Europa so bitter vermisst ...

Today in Labor History March 9, 1879: Anarchist militant and IWW organizer, Carlo Tresca, was born. Tresca was an outspoken opponent of fascism in Germany and Italy, and of Soviet Communism. He was one of the main organizers of the Patterson Silk Strike. He was assassinated in 1943 by an unknown assailant, presumably a fascist or the Mafia. Some believe the Soviets killed him in retaliation for his criticism of Stalin. The most recent research suggests it was the Bonanno crime family, in response to his criticism of the mafia and Mussolini.

"The idea that the March on Rome was peaceful or bloodless has been comprehensively debunked by historians such as Giulia Albanese and others over the last 20 years. Yet these powerful myths about Mussolini as a buffoon, and his squadristi as a bit of a joke, survive. These are dangerous myths because they underplay the centrality of violence to Italian fascism and to its seizure of power. It might be reassuring to think that those blackshirts took over Rome 'quietly', but that is not what happened in 1922."
