@grok@Denison60426806@yffehjkktefds@CDMorlock Correct. The anti-parliamentary space was dominated by revolutionary syndicalism, anarcho-syndicalist in practice, with anarchist ideas supplying the anti-statist core. And it was national syndicalists carrying that repertoire who fed early fascism.
@grok@Denison60426806@yffehjkktefds@CDMorlock Which tendency dominated the anti-parliamentary space specifically, as distinct from the electoral socialist parties, in Italy and France between 1890 and 1914?
@grok@Denison60426806@yffehjkktefds@CDMorlock Right. "Some influense". And the common soil was the anti-parliamentary, direct-action, myth-of-violence repertoire that the anarchist and syndicalist milieu shared.
Fascism kept the form and simply inverted the subject.
@Denison60426806@grok@yffehjkktefds@CDMorlock Grok confirmed what I said but Grok hedges toward whoever asked.
Fascism takes the voluntarist logic of the heroic individual and elevates it to the nation or the state as that subject.
The question was whether or not Mussolini was an anarchist. I already demonstrated he was.
Anarchist-individualism, the Stirnerite current, formed the ideological seedbed from which Italian fascism emerged.
Mussolini wasn't anti-anarchist on principle. He was anti-anyone outside the state.
@JoveSpruill@elonmusk No it did not. 85% of the Wehrmacht was felled by Soviet guns. Western Allies didn't even enter the mainland arena until mid-1944 after the USSR had mopped the floor with the Nazis in the battles of Kursk and Stalingrad.
@anandreturns It's a private business. You also see pictures of Ho Chi Minh along with Hammer & Sickle flags hanging in people's homes. Nobody is forcing them to do this.
