The hills are alive with the apologists for a ""real socialism," a socialism different and kinder than all those tried before. For some reason these people think we should sign up for a new experiment despite all the previous subjects of similar experiments have died. This time, we are told, the experiment will go better.
“Fascism establishes the real equality of individuals before the nation […] The object of the regime in the economic field is to ensure higher social justice for the whole of the Italian people.”
“When the war is over, in the world’s social revolution that will be followed by a more equitable distribution of the earth’s riches, due account must be kept of the sacrifices and of the discipline maintained by the Italian workers. The Fascist revolution will make another decisive step to shorten social distances.”
“We are fighting to impose a higher social justice. The others are fighting to maintain the privileges of caste and class. We are proletarian nations that rise up against the plutocrats.”
This is Mussolini talking about the "real fascism." Noble, no? So why should we give the socialists any more of a break when socialism fails in its stated intent than we would give the fascists? What is it about us that is always willing to give the volunteer for power over us a break?
