The virtues of Mussolini's fascist rule in Italy

Historian | 01.09.2002 01:58

Mussolini's fascist rule was one of great virtue

Not many people ever realize that Benito Mussolini and his Fascist Party
were against abortion, birth control, pornography, secret societies,
unnatural sex and a host of other spiritually debilitating maladies that
our liberal society now accepts as normal life in this materialistic and
hedonistic society.

Under Fascism the educational system of Italy had been entirely
remodelled. Before the "Fascist Era" schools emphasized the making of
clerks and 'white collar' workers, with a contempt for manual labor, to
that of making mechanics with a pride in craftmanship. Under Mussolini
the schools were defined as being "spiritual, intellectual, æsthetic and
practical". Students were taught that being a farmer or a mechanic was
everybit as noble an occupation as being a lawyer, doctor or teacher.

Mussolini had looked upon the cinema with a critical eye and found it a
possible sourse of corruption and instituted a more rigid censorship of
films than any other country in Europe. And who did the censoring?
Mussolini? The Fascist Party? Neither one. Actually it was the Italian
mothers of the community. It was merely Fascism once again proving it's
knowledge of human nature: the mother is instinctively Puritan. Films
with any hint of lewdness were forbidden to all; to children in addition
was denied, the sight of films which had a motif of passion or of crime.
Romantic films were allowed but the content had to be kept clean and
decent.

Pornographic books, newspapers and pictures were banned and anything
which obviously sought to attract by lewdness alone. Children were
forbidden tobacco products before the age of fifteen. Gambling casinos
were also forbidden and the state instituted a lottery system to fulfil
a person's desire to gamble while at the same time providing a source of
income to the nation for social services. Any bar knowingly serving
alcohol to minors had their establishment smashed and a little corporal
punishment administered to the offending proprietor and or bartender by
a squad of Black Shirts, as crude as it may sound, it kept court costs
down and the repetitive rate of offenses low. To top it off, Mussolini's
Fascist regime was the first to eliminate organized crime (the mafia)
and the immorality it fostered.

Mussolini's Fascism was indeed "the regime of virtue"!

Are you sure that Mussolini was against all that? Do you have any clue what was going on in Italy in that infamous years? Indoctrination was the rule at that time. It was the most detrimented period of all history of Italy. Politically and morally, fascism was and is a backwarded system. What do you mean that fascism was against pornography, unnatural sex(?), abortion and so on? In which planet do you live? Do you have any certainty what the 'camerati' were doing?
Let the crap dissapear and go on with life.
thank you for not posting any nonsense any more.

Mussilini used the mafia for inteligence and killing political opponants. One organized crime ring reportedly would tell the government soldiers were the partisans were hiding, collect a reward, then tip off the partisans, telling them a raid was comming soon, and collect a reward from them. Organized crime tends to proliferate under fascist governments and during wartime.

Just all goes to show what a total bag of shite fascism was and is (even without the racial content).

Death to fasism! Let's have more fucking in the streets!
