      I hope so too. I would love to see an alternate reality Italy where operation Gladio never happened. Socialism is such a good fit for Italian culture honestly, and Italian socialists and communists fought (and still fight) so hard against the reactionary powers within Italy. Being the seat of the Catholic Church for so long doesn't help them at all though, and these fascists are just riding the wave of worldwide discontent with a failing neoliberal world older.

    Remarkable that Italians are re-electing a fascist fool to power within living memory of the last time they did that, and with his descendants serving within the party.

    Although some of its members reject the label, FdI has been described as neo-fascist, in part due the party's history dating back to the Italian Social Movement (MSI), its far-right ties, its appeal to neo-fascists on social media such as Facebook, and some party leaders' nostalgia for Italian Fascism.

    Some members of the Mussolini family have run for the FdI party such as Rachele Mussolini, granddaughter of Benito Mussolini, for the City Council of Rome, and Caio Giulio Cesare Mussolini, great-grandson of Benito Mussolini

    Very cool Italy

    At least Italexit promises to be funny
