Italianbros and other, tell me about Benito Mussolini and the Italian fascist period.
What was it like? In today Italy, how is this period remembered?

Possibly one of the dumbest heads of state ever.
>>72466347
This seriously looks like a dystopian sci fi movie.
Also, didn't he want to drain the Mediterranean and use it for farmland?
>>72467897
In addition to all of the gorgeous Fascist Futurist art produced in his name, he also had a killer appreciation for modern architecture as well.

Hitler actually had the biggest hardon for classical art and architecture for that era. His entire model of the third reich was blatantly based on Rome. His desire to see the reich last a 1000 years a direct reference to that.
The armies in complete sync, perfect discipline, uniform fashionable aesthetic, collectivism over individualism. Building large but simple shit.
He even told some of his party members to fuck off with their hyperborean shit because he was embarrassed that the German nation didn't have much to speak of in the same era. He hired Arno Breker to out Roman the Romans in glorious statues.
The third reich was really a German version of Rome if not a ripoff. Even the staffs with eagles on the top are Roman.

Much of dystopian scifi is based on the Axis, dummy, because it was a "dystopia" to the globalist lefties who write scifi

This makes me contemplate though whether or not an alternate timeline with an Axis victory would've been as glorious as /pol/ and the Natsocs believe. BBC did a documentary based on a book that was fairly realistic.
The reich fails to pass on it's values to the next generation. War continually rages on in the far east with the soviet rump state. There is no utopian technological advancement the likes of Wolfenstein, and everything is still totalitarian. There's a very good chance the third reich by the 1990s could've ended up the way the USSR did, with perfect Aryan broads whoring themselves out for food.
At the same time fascism was unquestionably superior to communism, nd didn't view all facets of human nature like gender roles and nationalism as beorgois concepts designed to divide the working class. So who knows

>The third reich was really a German version of Rome if not a ripoff
well duh it was supposed to be a reincarnation of the first reich, the formal successor to the western roman empire.
>>72469933
The first reich is the kingdom of Germany and sometimes the holy Roman empire, which was neither holy nor Roman.
The WRE didn't continue despite Charlemagne's insistence that it did. It continued with the Byzantines.

the pope crowned the HR emperor rex Romanorum who for some time ruled over the actual Rome. make of that what you will.

Fuck off. The Third Reich itself is a work of art.

I read somewhere that Mussolini did not like Hitler but was forced into dealing with him, only read this biography of him;

This. All of the smart decisions were made by people like his nephew, Count Ciano, who, I might add, fell out of favour with Mussolini due to his staunch opposition to starting a global war as early as 1939, as he knew it would mean the destruction of Italy. As soon as Mussolini started making all of the key decisions, Italy began to fall apart
