bkcuninghman1: I think we have a bit of a misunderstanding here. I take no 'offense' at the term "fascist views". It just seemed to me that you were saying "open minded" on one had, but using an emotionally charged word on the other that *appeared* to indicate you'd made up your mind, at least to a degree.

You ask why Mussolini's name would invoke a negative reaction from me. Well, the fact that he allied himself with the 2nd worst mass murderer of the 20th Century has something to do with that. The fact that he was publicly executed and his body hung upside down, again in public, shows what many of his countrymen thought of him. And the phrase "Yeah, but he made the trains run on time" is used to ridicule people.

Quite frankly, as I looked at some of the links you provided, I found two completely different tones. In the first ones, a more moderate tone, kind of like how I'd describe, at first glance, a European "Social Democrat" model. The next couple.. That was truly disturbing. The fact that they concentrated on "The Millenials" - the generation born around the turn of the century. To exagerrate for emphasis, it's like asking kindergartners if they are in favor of ice cream for dinner. I mean, my right-leaning 22-year-old daughter asked me when she was 6 "Wouldn't it be better if nobody needed money and we could all just have what we need?" The very definition of "Naive".
