Benito Mussolini

can you guys red pill me on Mussolini?
was he dare i say it our guy?

italian military made hitler lose the war.

nice meme friendo

What do your country men think of Mussolini?

He was the true god emperor of the time, the unsung hero of WW2.

uneducated retards like you have no place in a historical discussion such as this one

my grandparents still admire him to this day and condemn their fellow countrymen that betrayed him.
Mussolini did a lot of good things to Italy, but his plan of bringing back the "empire" forced Italy to enter a war we couldn't fight, brought the country to its knees, and it ultimately was the cause of his death, killed by those who loved him

>nd it ultimately was the cause of his death, killed by those who loved him
While he was once a communist, I wouldn't say that the communists who tortured and murdered him really "loved him".

It was more the lack of resources, industry and infrastructure, but Hitler was warned about this, and still decided to go to war.
Mussolini wouldn't simply let his ally go to war alone so he took the risk and made his country fail miserably as a consequence. Doesn't help that nobody thought they'd see another world war.

What about the younger generation?

He was a blowhard and a coward. When he was captured, he was about to turn on Hitler, then Hitler sent SEALteam6 to save him with gliders.
Listen to his speeches on yt, he was a great orater, but he was all talk, no action.

Yes, maybe i said that wrong. with "those who loved him" i meant the italian population in general, of course the commies were just waiting for the right moment to strike.
you can say anything about mussolini, but you can't deny he was a good public speaker, and seeing all the others buffoons we have in italian politics right now, if he were a contemporary politician he would be followed by many. I actually don't know what the new generations think about him, i guess millennials aren't very fond of him

>"founder" of fascism
>didn't even practice fascism

He had good ideas but he never actually followed the words he preached.

>Mussolini wouldn't simply let his ally go to war alone so he took the risk

Spaghetti unironically believe this.
Mussolini joined WW2 on 10th june 1940. On june 21th the final armistice was signed between France and Germany+Italy. Mussolini rushed into WW2 because he thought the war was basically over and he wanted a piece of France for his Roman Empire, not out of partnership with Germany, and he certainly didn't take any risk.

reminder that race is a feeling

No, he went to war after France was already losing and because he wanted to have a piece of it, he thought the war would be over quickly.

He launched the offensive in North Africa vs the Brits against the advice of his generals, who knew the army wasn't ready.

you're both partially correct.
There was a lack of resources, industry and infrastructure, but Mussolini rushed into WW2 because he thought the war was basically over and he wanted a piece of France for his Roman Empire, not out of partnership with Germany

that was probably a reason as well, but considering his generals were all against it he had likely other motives for it

I read somewhere that he knew about not being ready as well, but he had to do it anyway because the rest of the party wanted to go to war and would have kicked him out of power if he decided to stay neutral

>didn't even practice fascism
What?

First Gen Z who can post on the 4chin here
I like what he was trying to achieve even though he brought Italy down a notch due to his foreign policy failures, but my peers aren't too strong feeling about him or politics, they laugh at jokes about him and find them funny but that's about it

he was a socialist, never a communist.

>sawdust caesar

fascism is power of corps, so no

This

>implying

These statement from Che should be shown to all these young students with the Ch Guevara t-shirt
top kek

A retard, like all weak beta fascist.

They would do backfillps to defend him

For extreme right could not matter, but back then was huge.
Nazi were National Socialists, 'member?
And case in points, those retards commies fought the socialists after the fall of weimar - a contribution to the power gap that gave a chance to nazi.

Ironically, Francisco Franco never thought that much of Benito and Adolf. He was a spartane, ultra-conservative former fighter, he considered the two people that talked too much, and two "maricones".

>their fellow countrymen that betrayed him
it was the king , the king for fuck sake stop blaming normal people for what happened

>bald
>manlet
>double inferiority complex

even if he had kept his mouth shut and shunned hitler for being a disgrace to fascism (((they))) would've killed him off after ww2

Bullshit, Francisco Franco outlived all of them and was relatively close.

He ran a reasonably successful state in peacetime but allowed himself to be cowed by Hitler in both his politics and economics once he joined the war.

Joining the war was the biggest mistake he made anyway. The balkans and africa were huge investments of military men and resources that afforded the Axis no benefits whatsoever.
