Fascism: Is Italy's government allowing the past to live on? | BBC News

Italy's current government is led by the Brothers of Italy party, which has roots in post-war fascism.
Its leader, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has said her movement has completely changed and that it is clear her politics are not those of the people raising their arms in Milan.
But some fear she and her party have not moved far enough away from their political origins and that what was once considered the extreme is becoming mainstream.
Ms Meloni's Brothers of Italy party bears the same three-coloured flame logo adopted by neo-fascist groupings after the second world war, but she has progressively shifted her movement away from the far right.
BBC's Mark Lowen looks into the world of neo-fascism in Italy for BBC InDepth.

[@josele844]

No it is not. What is happening is that moderate people are being pushed to the right. This is a minority which, albeit being somewhat a threat, does not represent the real threats: rising organised crime infiltrating society and islamism, which are undoubtedly correlated with uncontrolled immigration from ME and North Africa. A recent report in Sweden has shown that Iran is founding organised crime and indoctrination of the 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants from ME. We are under attack and the left seems oblivious to the real threat of our societies. Today EU election voting results will show you. Mark my words.

Its the elitist way this reporter speaks that let's me know who is to blame. He is literally saying the Italian government shouldn't tolerate this. What does not tolerating it look like? Fascists wouldn't tolerate it. If you want to censor or arrest people for this you are only going to make them stronger. In America it's the people that claim to be anti-facist that are the most fascist. If you cheer on the government to censor them today; tomorrow they will do the same to you and your ideals. Just calling people "fascist" doesn't mean anything anymore bc it's so overused and used incorrectly. I guarantee who prospers from this are the same people that prosper from everything else. They love it. Any division is good for them. The actual Italians are the indigenous population of Italy so they aren't crazy to feel like foreigners are coming to take their country. I used to say I wish the Native Americans were not accepting at all when the first Europeans came to their land but I realize now that the reason they didn't understand the threat was because it didn't happen overnight. It started very small and the natives had no idea what all would come, and if they had understood this threat sooner, they would have killed all the first ones to arrive. Colonialism never stops. In America, I have come to realize that what really makes a white supremacist is being so arrogant that it can't happen to you. That what you have can't ever be taken. The arrogance involved in people thinking it can't happen to them are the real supremacists of any race or people.

People in the comment section know the difference between patriotism and fascism? Because fascism is not only corporativism, patriotism or nationalism as someone said. Fascism is a totalitarian ideology that came to power between 20s and 40s of the last century instilling fear through the society, eliminating political opposition (read about fascist squadrism, Matteotti murder etc.), prohibitng free and multiparty elections (national fascist party was the only legal party in italy) and subjugating and discriminating minorities. Fascism is violence, this is the true definition, because is a violent ideology, came to power with violence and led Italy to violence, dictatorship and the absence of rights and freedom and ultimately to war. National socialism was inspired by fascism and that should says it all. The historical revisionism we are witnessing in this period is unacceptable and is based on fear, confusion and poorness of the people. These are hard and uncertain times and today as then far-right blows on the general discontent with the risk of starting a fire that will not be easy to put out if it becomes too large as history teaches. Don't look for easy answers to complex problems, try to use your head and not your gut, we must all try to find an alternative to all of this together and united. And the far-right parties that don’t condemn these so called nostalgic tributes are complicit and irresponsible because they do it for electoral gain or worse out of real conviction in certain cases for these ideas. Or worse for pure ignorance because you can be nationalist and right-wing without being illiberal and fascist, because it is too easy to condemn the drifts of an ideology if the ideology itself is incompatible with our liberal democracies. This is why they always taught us to watch over democracy because this is not just an Italian phenomenon but a European if not global one. Think about it, people. And get informed well about what surrounds you and about history. And the great grandson of a fascist secret agent tells you this so i know what i’m talking about and the risks involved in this dangerous twist.

This is such an unfaithful representation of the political situation in Italy, as it is ideologically based on the propaganda of left wing parties, newspapers and intellectuals. Meloni's government (which I do not support, to be clear) has many faults, but it has not limited freedom of speech nor any other constitutional right, contrary to what the deputy mayor of Bologna said. The fascist party Forza Nuova has never won any seat in the Parliament so far; its leaders and others have been condanned for the 2021 assault to CGIL. Fratelli d'Italia is the leading party in Italy and the present government is the expression of a legitimately elected parliament in 2022. These are the facts, the rest is just bullshit. I have great respect for BBC and I still consider it one of the most reliable news agency in the world, but this report is clearly ideologically based.

[@michaelcummins7397]

While it’s great to cover this topic it’s terrible journalism from the part of BBC to gloss over the reason why Fascism is problematic. Conflating the horrors of Nazism with the Fascist of Italy is NOT the same and by not addressing the flaws of the Italian Fascist you leave it open to ‘interpretation’. There is a much deeper issues re Nationalism and the corruption under Capitalist oligarchs as well as the ‘Mafia’ style politicians that are the root cause of why so many Italians are leaning into Fascism. Why did Fascism begin in the 1st place? These BBC docs end up not asking bigger questions and certainly not answering them which ends up creating a vacuum that can be filled by disinformation.

I agree with you, they don't even try to go to the root, which would be helpful to at least propose some alternatives who don't look that pitiful and who are likely to be better.

If Mussolini, like Franco, had refrained from entering into an alliance with Nazi Germany, history would have remembered him completely differently. Of course it wasn't an angel. What the Italians did in Africa is indefensible (Ethiopia, for example...) but at the same time Mussolini effectively attacked the mafia, reached an agreement with the Vatican, things improved in Italy, etc. but unfortunately Mussolini was a megalomaniac. And everything that was good on the side of fascism (and it was!) destroyed and brought Italy to the brink of collapse. I have respect, for example, for Count Ciano, for his anti-German attitude and attitude towards Poland in 1939. We should also not forget that Mussolini was dismissed by the Great Fascist Council, which means that something like a disabled, but still, democracy was at work.

Creduto in un despota vile e sanguinario, traditore e distruttore del Paese di cui, con il pieno appoggio del non meno sanguinario, vile e traditore Sovrano, il "Re d'Italia" Vittorio Emanuele III di Savoia-Carignano, prodotto del matrimonio incestuoso tra due cugini di primo grado (ma allora tra le famiglie patrizie andava di moda così, con tanto di dispensa pontificia), che tutte le leggi volute ed emanate dal Fascismo al Governo le ha firmate senza battere ciglio. E ora questo mostriciattolo alto metà della sua Regale Consorte, è sepolto con tutti gli onori nella Basilica di Nostra Signora della Vittoria sul torinese colle di Superga. In tutto questo non c'è proprio niente di cui andare fieri. Per concludere, chiarisco di non reputarmi cittadino dell'Italia "Unitaria", Regno o Repubblica che sia, di essere un cattivissimo NoVax, di non essere "putiniano" ma in questo frangente di essere dalla parte della Nobilissima Federazione Russa, di essere contrario al dominio NATO in Europa, di riconoscere a Tutti il Diritto Naturale di praticare con pudore e castigatezza di costumi le proprie preferenze affettive e sessuali senza interferenze da parte terza, nè stato nè preti, e di vederle in qualche maniera riconosciute civilmente le relazioni monogame same-sex ma niente assurdi matrimoni, visto che come Cristiano Cattolico definisco il Matrimonio come l'Unione Sacramentale tra un Lui ed una Lei, e stop. Unione Sacramentale, per cui anche i matrimoni cosiddetti "civili" o di altra religiosità li giudico e li considero delle ordinarie convivenze "more uxorio", legittime, ma non Matrimoni.

[@_wolf_eye]

You both don't understand. There is an explicit comma in the anti-fascist, post-ww2 constitution of Italian Republic (created in 45) that blatantly prohibits such public displays of any Fascism related act from happening. To perform them is therefore a violation of constitutional article. It's not against the power of a single government, it's against the very foundation or the Republic, which had to see the dismantling with arms of the Fascist regime in order to be founded. You simply can't do such things, for well understood reasons. Italian Fascism wasn't a 'fascism' in broader terms. It was the first modern one. It was the archetype of all the other ones. Even put down the blueprint for the Nazi regime in Deutschland. These displays are frightening and dangerous. And the way in which Italian law and order overlooks them is even more dangerous. Democracy grants people freedom of speech and thought, true, but it very well so has, needs, must defend this freedom by prohibiting the diffusion of ideologies whose only concern is to take away that very same freedom form citizens and control their life by imposing constraints on them, through means of threats, fear mongering and violence. As Fascists did a hundred years ago. They beat up people, incarcerated opposers, killed them, shut their mouths, tortured them, and organized public life in such a way that to either become complicit with them or forced to comply was almost inevitable because refusing to do so it would have meant to risk your life. So to call for freedom of speech as a defense or justification for these displayes of fascist celebrations would technically constitute a para-logism. A misplaced use of logic.

I grew up devoid of any ideologies in Tanzania, and had never voted until I returned to Italy after 41 years. I would consider myself a "centrist" since I listen to ALL proposals, evaluate them for long term effects, and choose what I consider the better one. Most Italian politicians are not up to a standard of governing "anything", and many proposals are disastrous. So Meloni really stood out above the rest.

In Hungary the government, full with ex- commies and their descendants are rubbing the country to dry, making a Western-style living almost impossible for most of the citizens and that contributed an intellectual and working class migration to the West, mainly to EU.

Fascism as a philosophy started in Milan at the university(Giovanni Gentile).

Transcendence or esotericism was to be found in action, the will and was placed firmly in the "material".
