Is the dogmatism what blinded or unblinded? Considering the source I assume he meant that Italians desired fascism. I’m not familiar with the rise of Mussolini, was he genuinely popular or more of a Hitleresque thug that used violence to suppress his opponents and control measured public opinion?
Both. But I didn't quote him to praise him, just to express distress that our current situation seems disturbingly similar to those dark times.
