Margaret Killjoy

I'm not going to get too deep into the weeds of defining fascism today, but I want to talk first about someone who 100% absolutely, I am certain, would have been fine with assassinating someone like Benito Mussolini about 15 years before Benito Mussolini came to power. That man who would have been totally fine with killing Benito Mussolini was Benito Mussolini.

Yeah. To open up a can of worms that the internet is not equipped to handle, Benito Mussolini, the founder of the world's deadliest far-right ideology, started on the left.

Yeah, we're going to talk about that. There's going to be a lot of... Also started as a journalist. Hooray. Yeah. Yeah. He was a socialist for a long ass time. He was at least a second generation leftist. Mussolini was born in the year 1883, and he was the child of a blacksmith socialist and a Catholic school teacher.

He got named after a series of socialists and leftists because of his father, and then he was baptized Catholic because of his mom. He's named Benito after Benito Juarez, the liberal president of Mexico. And his middle names, which I forgot to look up in Italian, are Andrea and Amalacare.

And these are after two anarchists because his father was part of the Anarchist International, which was an anti-authoritarian socialist organization in the 1870s. I'm just going straight into the like, this is like when I have to talk about eugenics on this show.

You know, whenever I have to talk about something that was like really common and easily understood in the 19th century that makes no sense in the 21st century. Italian nationalism is really intertwined with the left and it's really intertwined with anarchism.

Benito Mussolini never did really roll with the anarchists. He kind of wanted to at different points. When he was a socialist, he was firmly in the authoritarian socialist camp, but he studied a lot of anarchist theory. He remained friendly with anarchists. He was either dating or just friends with, I've read both, the anarchist orientalist poet named Lita Raffinelli.
