Italy lived through fascist times and if Mussolini hadn’t allied with Hitler it might have lasted..

..in Italy as long as it did in Spain 🇪🇸

Nobody talks about the fascist regime in Spain and I wonder why? It all seems to be about Germany 🇩🇪 which was Nazi, not fascist. They now use the Italian word to describe all right wing regimes, which denigrates Italians to being antisemitic which they have claimed they were not. Indeed the church took Jews in and issued them with Papal passports! This too is forgotten because the type of fascism we face now is based on the words of the Grand Mufti!

There is no need to talk about Spanish fascism in relation to “antisemitism.” What did Spain do? Both Spain and Italy had to be practical in their dealings with Nazi Germany. Fascism was not about racial ideology. It was only after the relationship with Germany that Italy, for practical reasons, introduced the Racial Laws.

Mussolini said: “Race? It is a feeling, not a reality: ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today.”

Franco did believe that Jews are either Bolshevik communists or greedy capitalists. They are probably the same thing, but with different names. It is not racist to observe the Jewish communist and the Jewish capitalist.
