This Day in the History of the Creation of More Dangerous Leftist Ideaologies
On this day in 1919, Benito Mussolini, an ardent Italian socialist philosopher, who had broken with his party regarding Italy's entry into WWI, created his own political entity, still socialist, called the Fascist Party. It was named for the bundle of rods and a war ax which the Roman soldiers protecting consuls and others of high rank had carried, 2000 years before, to signify their charge's importance. It was an historically rich, collectivist symbol. There's one on Colorado's state seal.
