So... Before we talk about Tito, we're going to talk about another Italian socialist politician, Giacomo Mattiotti. Mattiotti. And his best friend, Bucca di Beppo. Giacomo Mattiotti was a socialist politician who tried repeatedly to expose Mussolini and fascism for what they were.

After he published a book against the fascists and accused them of fraud, the fascists, who were certainly people of action, on June 10th, 1924, Giacomo was kidnapped by the fascist secret police, who stabbed him to death with a carpenter's file, I believe in the car. This was in a lot of ways the thing that paved the way for Mussolini to declare himself dictator.

I'm going to oversimplify this dangerously. But after a lot of hand wringing and investigations and castigations of the fascists for this kind of thing, eventually Mussolini was like, look, I'm a fascist, though. I'm in charge and we're going to stab people to death with Carpenter's files and you're just going to deal with it. This had an enormous amount of knock-on effects.

One of them was that this other socialist politician, Tito Zanaboni, he got real mad. He had been part of the search efforts to find his friend. Before that, he'd been part of signing a peace treaty between the socialists and the fascists. But after they killed his friend, oh yeah, the socialists signed a peace treaty with the fascists.

Yeah. After I talk about all the anarchists who became fascists and stuff, it's worth pointing out the socialists signed a peace treaty with the fascists. Mm-hmm. After they killed his friend, he's like, all right, fuck this. We got to shoot this guy. And he and his friends conspired to kill Mussolini.

Tito is a war hero, so he got a precision rifle, and he set himself up to station himself in a window to shoot Mussolini from far away. But among his co-conspirators was an informant. So Tito, and actually a general in the Italian army, were both sent to prison. I think they got the maximum sentence, which was 30 years at the time. Great. The United Socialist Party was no more.

In court, Tito used the same defense as most of Mussolini's would-be assassins used later, which is the defense of, yeah, but fuck Mussolini, though. Somebody should shoot him. Mm-hmm. Just, you know, not always the best way to get off in court, but like...
