"Mussolini stood on street corners and shouted that Italy's war with Turkey and its 1911 invasion of Libya were an imperial grab meant to distract the people from their hunger. He organized and led protests, some of them violent, and was jailed. That made him a martyr and, when he was released, a hero of the left. As a reward, Avanti, the newspaper of Italy's socialist party, named him editor. This was where he earned a national reputation, for his nasty editorials against the government. He was a socialist, not an anarchist, but he also showed contempt for democracy, believing that most people were too stupid to know what was in their own best interests and that they were anyway too ignorant to choose their own best leaders."

The man sounds like an average left-winger in today's America. We all know what happened once he got in to government. Just think, Michael Moore could be the next Mussolini!

Actually when you compare ideologies, quotes, speeches, etc., Bush comes off looking very good compared to the people that are considered the greatest leaders of the 20th Century.
