Berlusconi praises Mussolini
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
Well it's nice to know that the centre-left parties are winning and most people are just laughing at him for saying stupid shit like that.
With the way things are going in Europe I was expecting his comment to be met with an invitation to the Human Rights Council.
What a fucking moron. It'd be one thing if his party were leading in the polls; as it is, they seem to be trailing behind.
"Socialist ideas become significant only to the extent that they become rooted in the working class."
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. . .Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."

He's like a randier, Italian version of our Duke of Edinburgh.
Best bit is he wasn't even invited, he just showed up, made the outrageous comments and the fell asleep for the rest of the ceremony... Maybe the fact he is losing in the polls from a comedian got to his hwad?
The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater?
Here at least We shall be free
But this is precisely the point, isn't it? That Lega Nord (or whatever it is spelled) siphons off a good part of the ultra-conservative, practically fascist vote.

“The possibility of securing for every member of society, by means of socialized production, an existence not only fully sufficient materially, and becoming day by day more full, but an existence guaranteeing to all the free development and exercise of their physical and mental faculties – this possibility is now for the first time here, but it is here.” Friedrich Engels

This is not an uncommon thing in Italy. You often see Mussolini picture calenders and post cards, especially in emilia-romagna. There is a lot of internal tension in Italy which can be generalized into the people from the North thinking that the Southern people are ruining the country and vice versa. So the idea that mussolini united the country and made it strong even if it is false is prevalent in a lot of places. Italians will often try to separate the politician from politics as well so for example they can approve of Berlusconi the man, but disapprove of Berlusconi the politican and vice versa as well.
