Edit: it looks like theres no evidence that this quote came from Mussolini. Am gonna keep this up anyways.
Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
That union is precisely what the fasces represented for them. "Corporatism" implies a state subservient to corporations, "fascism" implies a bond through ideology and goals. Moreover, the fasces tied Italy to its Roman past, which was deeply important to Italian fascists - they wanted to Make Italy Great Again, and in order for that to work, there has to be a historical myth to draw from. They had Rome, Germany had the Reich, MAGA has the 1950s, Spain... im actually not sure about their historical myth, im guessing conquistador colonialism?
Mussolini wasn't the super clever guy he thought he was. Go figure.
Continuing the analogy, modern russia has the Soviet Union.
The Soviets themselves, though, flipped the historical myth around and instead tied their ideology to the future of communism, which is surely just around the corner, just gotta work for the Party extra hard and not ask any questions, comrade!
I'm actually curious about similar movements in East Asia, now.
