we don't know the context around that quote or even if actually said it. But i'd assume it was a critique of the communist movements of his time - that fascism was the only thing challenging the liberal world order. He's obviously not saying that mussolini was good
You don't know the context behind his support of Mussolini and you're already jumping to his defence.
I'm going to disappoint you, the context in no way makes it better. Saying that Mussolini and Hitler are the only things challenging the liberal order as there are oncoming revolutionary movements is fucking brain dead.
yes, I am jumping to his defence because I don't think bordiga was an idiot and that quote was supposedly written down by an officer of mussolini's secret police. And bordiga definitely wasn't a mussolini supporter, since he'd spent years in italian prisons based on trumped-up charges
Of course all his statements recorded both in newspapers and the Italian state archive are all lies meant to undermine a communist movement that Bordiga at this point is deliberately not involved in
This is all more likely than Bordiga being afflicted with brain worms that were incredibly common for a certain type of communist in this period.
