I mean, the election of right wingers is not just an Italian phenomena, Sweden and others will follow suit

Meloni is a weird right winger though where her platform is different from much of the European right by comparison. Meloni is very far right domestically but her foreign policy is very typical western liberal. She’s a slight euroskeptic but is pro-NATO, pro-Taiwan, loves the US, etc.
most of the euro right is like the Serbian right, where they align with Russia & China (to a lesser extent) - see Le Pen in France for example. She’s more of an anomaly in her policies than much of the rest of the euro right which is far more straightforward. This woman said we should bomb China to save Taiwan and consider pre-emptively nuking Russia to save Ukraine

You know she isn’t a threat to the actual world order because Blinken said the US is looking forward to working with her

Good old fashioned Italian fascism. The purest flavor.

girlboss

she realized that rank-and-file right-leaning Italian voters won't be dissuaded if her foreign policy is "Brussels Eurocrat on steroids;" they just don't want migrants

Wow, very progressive of them

How is Iran not fascist?

One guy rules and his handpicked comittee decides the legitimacy of any candidate (e.g president, MPs).

Taliban is fascist too but you don't believe that yet 😅

frfr sounds like the Regime to me

Bro just did an All-fascisms-matter im done

What makes her fascist, and not just right wing and conservative?

Idk

Also who the f*** cares about Italy

Fascism is specifically characterized by the role of industry and capital within this dictatorship, including processes of privatization and and capitalist collaboration

This is something Iran doesn’t have. Rather, the dictatorship is characterized by theological supremacy and superiority, ruling by religious decree

“Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer”

The US embodies more of these points than iran, let’s be real

The industries are controlled by Oligarchs that have ties to Sepah.
It's fascism 101. In Iran privatisation means giving it to a relative of the supreme leader or someone else in the regimme lol

In light of the events of past week and half People in Iran have come to a new conclusion that in Islam a fart would break your Wudu but killing people won't

Why do you live in America and Not Iran then. It's closer to Afghanistan. Similar tongue. Go to the Khorasan province and live it up! Why do you choose to live under fascism in America?

Why have you not thrown yourself in the ocean in your fits of enlightenment?

I go swimming in the ocean all the time

Think she praised Mussolini and was part of some youth organization aligned w fascism

Doesn't it get exhausting to argue about semantics all day everyday

Europe being Europe again
