Il Duce Vita

Today in 1922 Benito Mussolini took control of the Italian government and introduced fascism to Italy.

Mussolini was among the founders of Italian Fascism, which included elements of nationalism, corporatism, national syndicalism, expansionism, social progress and anti-communism in combination with censorship of subversives and state propaganda. Sadly this fascist model was to catch on and spread into other countries within Europe and free expression of thought and will was dealt a telling blow for several years as a result.

How often a saviour can turn into a villain when they come to power.
