Benito Mussolini: Difference between revisions

* [[Squick]]: Look up how he and [[Dark Mistress|his mistress]] died. Seriously, it's bad.

* [[Take That]]: Mussolini's book, ''The Cardinal's Mistress''<ref>That or ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]''</ref> was the subject of [[Deadpan Snarker|Dorothy Parker's]] famous quip, "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."

* [[Unnecessarily Large Interior]]: Mussolini had his visitors cross an excessively large hall to meet him, as a psychological intimidation tactic.

* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: Many intellectuals, including so-called "progressive" thinkers praised him for his handling of the Great Depression in Italy, and Mussolini himself described corporatism as being similar to the New Deal. That said, these days, "progressives" don't like fascism.
