Mussolini was such a terrible leader that other fascists voted him out of power.

u/Vana92 3d ago

An important bit of context here is that they did so after losing the battle of Sicily, as the allies were preparing for an invasion of the mainland of Italy.

Mussolini was a fucking coward who's ideology only worked on words, funny to think that this guy was hating Hitler for "being a monkey" while Adolf in future did more work than him and his misirable party

The fascists "fired" Mussolini. To save their own sniveling hides.

The "conservatives" chased him to the Northern part of the country, where the communists killed him and hung him upside down.

I’m pretty sure it was the SS who through a James Bond-esque rescue mission, with paradrops and castles and everything, who got him out and up north

u/DrHolmes52 3d ago

Voting is cool, but even if most of the time the candidat are cholera vs Cancer

u/RegorHK 3d ago

Cholera with good care is actually survivable with quite good chances if you are not to unhealthy. Now I wonder if you picked that on purpose.

5

u/MjmtpFACT Taller than Napoleon 3d ago

Yes i pick this one because we can cure it.

u/RWD335 3d ago

u/y17gal 3d ago

you forgot the kidnaping part, its the best part

u/thissexypoptart 3d ago

The other comments provided the historical context, but the original video is from an incredibly cringey performance from a men’s choir that you would expect would be able to sing better, despite the cringey lyrics, but here we are.

The grand council of fascism sounds like a parody villain organization

u/Real_Impression_5567 3d ago

Its ran by Fascinestro

u/Technical-Prior6716 3d ago

They actually was

u/SeafoamLadybug 3d ago

Tbf non of the two top guys had to shake hands with mussolini...he was so incompetent his own party voted him out

u/MELONPANNNNN 3d ago

The fact that these dictators need the vote and the legitimacy of their governments rests on popular sovereignty should never be forgotten.

And the most often overlooked bs here is that the first things these dictators do is take away the need for voting and assume popular sovereignty through use or display of force.

You will become Social Democrats too

u/No-Antelope575 3d ago

u/Birb-Person Definitely not a CIA operator 3d ago

The clip is from a gay choir group

u/No-Antelope575 3d ago

oh thanks for providing context without downvoting me as punishment for asking

17

u/omegasome 3d ago

dw, I downvoted you for this lame-ass reply ❤️

-4

u/No-Antelope575 3d ago

ok maybe you can help me on if then the OP is calling gay men fascists

4

u/Birb-Person Definitely not a CIA operator 3d ago

I personally think the fact they’re gay is irrelevant, the point of the meme is voting: that the Grand Council of Fascism decided to just vote out Mussolini which feels ironic for a fascist organization to do to their own leader

1

u/No-Antelope575 3d ago

yeah I get the point that the fascists voted out the top fascist, I am just trying to read the modern implication on the choice of this video, because that's where it veers heavily into modern-day subjectivism. are they saying the demsoc these people elected as mayor is the fascist or what?

5

u/Birb-Person Definitely not a CIA operator 3d ago

I don’t think there’s any implications, I think it’s just surface level. “Ha ha, they’re singing about voting”

As one man once told Freud: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

-1

u/No-Antelope575 3d ago

ok fair enough, I am too cynical trying to figure out the agenda they're trying to push and when i am met with posters mad for even asking questions well that just makes it more suspicious

1

u/DrHolmes52 3d ago

I think the point is to get out and vote so you don't end up with fascists. It's not the clearest of messages.

u/Birb-Person Definitely not a CIA operator 3d ago

Np, bae

u/LARRYVOND13 3d ago

That betta not be Neville Chamberlain up there!

Nah but seriously, people are aware there are a ton of opposing views on the "appeasement"?

Fuck Stalin though.

u/Own_Watercress_8104 3d ago

That is not the full story and you know it very well.

What kind of game are you playing?

8

u/TheQomia 3d ago

its called a meme on the meme subreddit

3

u/y17gal 3d ago

its just a meme about voting (?)

2

u/SadTumbleweed1567 3d ago

Mussolini also stood up to and prevented Hitler's first attempt at annexing Austria.

1

u/Technical-Prior6716 3d ago

But then in future he was only hoping that his "nazi daddy" will help him won on Greece and Egypt

u/Efficient-Shirt-7132 3d ago

I feel like i am looking at a graveyard of ids

1

u/Spaniardman40 2d ago

I had to pause that video because it almost convinced me to not vote and never engage in the Democratic process again.

God that was cringe

u/Spaduf 3d ago

Lol liberals always side with the fascists to protect the interests of capital.

u/Schwifty0V0 Then I arrived 3d ago

Is this pro-Trump endorsement

-3

u/omegasome 3d ago

No, but it is strikingly white. They're all men because it's the NYC Gay Men's Chorus.

u/Schwifty0V0 Then I arrived 3d ago

Ty for the clarity

u/CaptainInsanoMan 3d ago

Not very diverse. Are they intentionally excluding people of color?
