Yes, Italy's new prime minister is really a fascist: The old-fashioned kind

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

BOLOGNA, Italy — The first woman to hold the office of prime minister in Italy is a fascist. This is not hyperbole or metaphor, or some headline-grabbing device used to smear a conservative. No. The fact is that Giorgia Meloni, leader of the largest party after Italy's recent elections, is fascist to her core. The old-fashioned, last-century, Roman salute-in-public kind of fascist.

This fact is clear enough in Italy, even if Meloni, in order neither to admit nor deny that she is a fascist, performs semantic acrobatics, such as stating that fascism is now "consigned to history." Whatever that is supposed to mean.

I watched this disaster unfold here in the center of northern Italy, one of the nation's leftist strongholds. There was a resigned awareness creeping through the city, a feeling that we were about to experience an occupation.

Meloni entered politics at age 15 as an activist in the youth section of the Movimento Sociale Italiano or MSI, a party created in 1946 by veterans of the Italian Social Republic as a home for those nostalgic for the defeated Fascist regime. Its founder, Giorgio Almirante, an editor at the pseudoscientific racist journal La Difesa della Razza during the Mussolini dictatorship, never disavowed his political beliefs.

1. She's a fascist but Italy's governing legislature is not, so what can...

she really do? I understand Italy has a parliamentary system so she would have to form coalitions with other parties to make big changes.

And changes to what...black shirts and making the trains run on time? Italy is no threat to anyone militarily, so what can she really do?

2. Italy has both a Prime Minister and a President

So, their government systems can seem very fragmented and so is the power of the State. Which maybe a good thing.

They have a very complex legislation structure.
