No. All Italian people can do now is we wuz. They'll be better off when some kind of multi-national empire forms in Europe.

But Italy is a multinational country already, just look at the north-south divide and so on.

>it's a "fascism had no theory behind it" thread

This. I am a northern Italian and I have blonde hair and blue eyes. So does my whole family. But if you go south to Sicily, for example, they all look like Arabs.

Why don't you read a book about it rather than ask ignorant people on an anime image board?

Makes it hard when works like Mussolini's Doctrine of Fascism were so disregarded when it comes down to the actual history. Seems like a bunch of bullshit to justify war.

The thing you have to understand about Fascism is that it is inherently anti-doctrine. Fascism can only truly exist in a time of great uncertainty general bitterness towards the status-quo.

In Italy the bitterness was towards the status-quo of both the Liberals and the Conservatives, whilst the only alternative at the time, the Socialists, were perceived as weak and generally anti-Italian at a time were sentiments were highly nationalistic.

As Mussolini says, cited in Dennis Mack Smith's book "MUSSOLINI", the main goal of Fascism is to achieve power and then use experimental tactics and public participation to achieve goals.

This is why much of his ideology is incredibly contradicting and often at odds with what he said earlier.

For instance, the greatest example of this, Mussolini's position on women changed drastically throughout his early years as both a journalist and a politician and really changed depending on who he was writing or talking to.

On one hand, to placate Conservatives, he called for all women to be the "pillar of society" and stay at home and raise Italian Children.

On the other, to Socialists and Liberals, you'd often find Mussolini advocate for women to be fully integrated into the work force because "Fascism does not want weak women who stay at home".

So whilst there is a veneer of coherent ideology, from my studies you'll find that much of it is highly fluid and ever-changing depending on what yielded Mussolini the best results.

It did much to end the cultural divide and bring Italians together. Mussolini kicked a lot of the mafia out of the south and brought much needed development.

Every country has its Brittany's and it's Bavaria's. Doesn't make it "multinational".

Blonde hair and blue eyes are a minority in northern italy and exist in southern italy too. This is a /int/ meme, Italians have been migrating back and forth along the peninsula for hundreds of years. There's also practically nothing Arabic about Sicily. There were no saracen migrations, in fact this is why the Arbëreshë were brought over in their place.

We Sicilians used to speak a very, very different language to the rest of the mainland. In fact, before the 70's or so, we could barely understand people in the next town.

We are also rather ethnically different from the rest of Italy; something we pride ourselves on.

As Lord Mettenich said: "Italy is nothing but a geographical concept".

Read. Southern Italy is not white anymore.

By this logic all Indians should be British because they ruled over them for 200 years.

You're retarded.

t. brown sicilian subhuman

Fascist Italy had one war before it became influenced by Nazi Germany, both politically and ideologically. And even then, it wasn't against an European country.

Mussolini was for a peaceful Europe before being alienated by other European powers when he invaded Abyssinia.

Of course an Austrian in the 19th century would despise the idea of Italy as a Nation.

Not an argument.

>This is why much of his ideology is incredibly contradicting and often at odds with what he said earlier.

This is what I'm getting. Its incredibly opportunistic and the only real consistency is "Muh Roman Empire"

Are there any other real goals that stayed with them throughout?

typical that a sicilian should use the language of a jewish youtuber, you share his semetic heritage

ok, let's go with Italian Nationalist, the Marquis d'Azeglio:

"We have made Italy. Now we must make Italians!"

>Of course an Austrian in the 19th century would despise the idea of Italy as a Nation.

Well that's simply because it was not a nation. It was just that, a geographic location. The people did have similar languages with varying degrees of intelligibility, they had vastly different cultures and histories, their political structures were completely different and their economies were so far removed from each other.

Pretty much the only cohesion was the Church. Garibaldi & co attempted to change this but in the end went "Nah, fuck it. You can deal with it." Then handed it over to a king.

National syndicalism and cultural imperialism.

>this will be called bantz.

Terroni you call them, no?

If the Brits mass raped and changed the genetic makeup of most of India for a few hundred years. MAYBE

But southern Italians are arab/muslim rape babies. Sorry bruh

Make Italy more cohesive as a nation. They basically always refused to deal with the anti-states in the South, preferring oppression and brutality... then the Americans got scared of invading Sicily and let the few survivors to the oppression come back and fuck up the South.

Well they didn't. Nowhere does it even imply it in the article you linked. The alt-right is massively obsessed and fantasizes about getting raped by foreigners so they are pretty much unable to look at history in any other light.

from "Muh Roman Empire" are derived characteristics of the said Roman Empire, notably antiracism for example.

There were no "mass rapes" and evidence shows there was no genetic change you retard. Southern Italy was never conquered by muslims. It was conquered by Normans and Lombards though, so by your logic they would all be blonde Nordic aryans.

In reality though, northern Italians have some more Celtic-Germanic influences and southern Italians have some more Greco-Roman influences. To a lesser extent both also more likely to have the related genetics, but they're more similar than they are different.

Arabs aren't even a factor.

Italians have the highest average IQs in Europe.

Is there a Mussolini speech where he actually speaks about the function/ideology of Fascism? The ones I find of youtube are all the same, about strength and unification.

Make Italy Roma Again.

Perhaps you could do better by actually reading fascist literature rather than asking a bunch of Veeky Forums retards.

>Perhaps you could do better by actually reading **related research** rather than asking a bunch of Veeky Forums retards.
This pretty much applies to everything here. We wouldn't have a site if everyone did this.

>strength and unification
That's because that's really the meat and bones of fascism. It's like if communism started off with lenin instead of having a century to have various people kick around ideas

Makes sense that the people who yell cuck every minute would fantasize anout being fucked thenselves. Really makes you think
