Line 44:
* [[I Like Swords]]: Unsurprisingly given his absurd [[Testosterone Poisoning]]. Not only did he attend one or two real duels with lethal blades(it is not widely known that dueling still took place that late in history), but he several times took part in one himself.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Less Disturbing in Context]]: Zig-zagged. He actually advocated totalitarianism. However he did not mean "I am going to be evil". He meant the state should have complete control of everything. Of course as it is kind of hard to manage that without being evil it is at the same time more disturbing in context. But [[For the Evulz]] was not his campaign platform. And indeed he never actually fulfilled his goal because to do so you of course actually do have to make the trains run on time.
* [[Modern Major-General]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: his fez, that he would wear almost always (including the page picture). Bonus point for the fez being proof he served in World War I as a Bersagliere, Italy's elite infantry.
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
* Is parodied along with Hitler in ''[[The Great Dictator]]'', in which the two conflict over which country would invade Austria. [[Truth in Television]] at the time, though the two became close allies later.
* In [[Mafalda]], Miguelito's grandfather is an admirer of Mussolini. He even manages to trace the [[Space Race|Moon Landing]] to Mussolini (Mussolini -> Hitler -> Von Braun -> NASA -> Moon Landing).
* This [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20180910065527/https://xkcd.com/282/\] [[Xkcd]] strip.
* In ''[[H. Beam Piper|Space Viking]]'', historian Otto Harkaman describes a government on one planet as analogous to the "Corporate State, First Century Pre-Atomic on Terra. Benny the Moose."
