Quick rundown on this guy?

The Italian Hitler?

...

A guy who was very serious about being a statesman. He knew English and French, and was very open to cooperating with the Western Democracies, and actually put himself on the line by taking the lead in negotiations over the Sudetenland.
When Hitler just started doing shit without "following the rules," especially after the Munich Conference, Mussolini felt that he was reckless.
He also wanted to make Austria a client state, but Hitler took them and he was salty about that.
Anyway, he was so butthurt about how Hitler was doing tons of shit without telling him, that he decided to invade Greece to give Hitler a taste of his own medicine, unfortunately we all know how that went.

TL;DR, Good guy in the wrong time.

Good ideas ruined by krauts, forever sullying the fascist cause.

was a literal former communist who fucked up by invading greece and somehow lost to them, and not only that, alienated the dictator metaxis who was basically a fascist himself and thus put greece in the ally camp.

if mods want to move this that's fine. i forgot there's a history board

Good info. Mussolini isn't someone I've studied much

He had a decent attempt at being a fascist dictator before settling down to be a YouTuber with a fascination for arguments and the lack of them.

someone who got cucked because Britan didnt like his little war against the niggers in Ethiopia

Had things go right Italy would still be Fascist, and a much better state desu

Il Duce Benito Mussolini, the last Ceasar, was a great man, nearly a demi god in fact.

Also pretty jacked for a 60yr old man pic related

He was Hitler with some actual philosophic foundation and hints of competence.

>Italian Hitler
>implying Hitler isn't the imitation

>former communist
He was a socialist, not a commie.

Please more info on this. What reading material should I read?

Mandatory reading.

I'm not a fascist, but he was probably the last decent leader we had

Dude that's just a still from the new Stefan Molyneux vid.

A great leader and a good man.

He was fairly mild. He made the trains run on time.

Mussolini was a god tier politician-- if you can even call him that. The problem is he was the one decent person Italy has seen in 500 years, and all other Italians he had to work with were absolute trash.
