I always find it funny when non-Italians get shocked by the images of #AccaLarenzia or any other #fascist demonstration. They're shocked by seeing the truth of this country versus the narration of a "historically leftist country" or "the people who rose against fascism".
First of all, we invented fascism. It's a 100% Italian product, just like Mafia is a 100% a Sicilian product. It's the worst expression, true, but still an expression of italian-ness. Fascism has other names outside of Italy for a reason, its characteristics change in favor of the local expressions.
Second, we never really intended to dismantle it, otherwise we wouldn't have #Mussoliniscrypt (Pic 1), where #cockroaches still hold their manifestations (Pic 2), or we wouldn't have had #JunioValerioBorghese in the post WWII political life of this failed country, who commanded the infamous #DecimaMAS and attempted a coup. Fascism has truly been the only thing to bring us to almost a national unity, the only political point of view to make Italians after #Italy was made, if you get the quote. Italian fascism, as explained by Umberto Eco, was a continuous contradiction - just like Italy and its different peoples allegedly united under a single flag are.
Third, we don't have a left. Maybe in the past we had one but I wasn't there. For sure now, and especially since when Berlusconi decided to join the political life in 1994, it's been more than clear that the #left doesn't exist or if it does exist it's irrelevant and stuck into performative acts thinking they're worth mentioning, or using a series of long and difficult words that no one understands or cares to understand because they're too focused on surviving and probably masturbating in front of the mirror thinking how intelligent they are being leftists and that they are better than them. Funny enough, while the superintelligent leftist was thinking how intelligent they are, Berlusconi was creating governments with fascists and bragging about it - and now they are at the top of the state.
Italy is a fascist country at its core and fascism is a totally Italian phenomenon. As long as we don't have the courage to look at the demon in the mirror into the eyes, there's really nothing we can do, except for thinking to be on the right side of history as per the Italian leftist tradition.
