      They covered it: slave economy, crony merchantislism, private armies and sections of the government, a “private and public partnership” and an untouchable ruling class and a master race (roman citizens).

      Its not a coincidence that both facsism and City-state sized capitalism were all founded in Italy.

    And every time you add cream to a carbonara, you can count on people from the country that invented fascism to complain about cultural purity.

    Thank you for this community. Back when I first joined Lemmy I missed niche communities. Today I found CunkPosting and I feel complete.

      Some inspiration, but only incidentally. Fascism was really Italians wanting to be Romans again. This is why most of the key ideas of Fascism were written out in Latin, or used Latin terms.
