Mussolini would be a democrat today. They use the same tactics.
Well, well...I think this is an improvement!
They didn’t call him Hitler!

And all changes to the engineered norm came to power after an inane political vacuum was established to overthrow sound constitutional republics or inept monarchies.
Um, Mussolini was GREATLY admired by FDR in the early days of the “New Deal”, because in that backward and corruption-ridden country of Italy, “he made the trains run on time”.
The “New Deal”, in fact, was patterned a great deal on the paternalistic state conceived by the “Iron Chancellor” of Germany, Otto von Bismarck. which organized the entire society on lines of a military chain of command, with the forces of capitalism strictly harnessed to the demands of the oligarchy at the top. It was not a large intellectual leap from this mindset to that of the Fascism of Italy or the National Socialism of Germany. And at its root, all these governing philosophies (including International Communism) were derived from interpretations of the writings of Karl Marx.
Mussolini, in fact, was very much a full-blooded Communist before he began a more nationalistic approach to organizing “The State” as an intermediary to full control of all aspects of society to “the people”.
Somehow, “the people” got written out of the equation pretty early on.
