This episode examines The Conformist, Bernardo Bertolucci's 1970 political drama set in 1930s Italy. The film centers on Marcello Clerici (Jean-Louis Trintignant), a mid-level Fascist functionary who is ordered to assassinate his former professor, an anti-fascist dissident living in Paris. The film, which includes many flashbacks to Clerici's early life and decision to join the secret police, provides powerful and chilling insights into the psychology of conformism and fascism The film, widely considered one of the greatest ever made, not only features outstanding performances but also superb production design (Fernando Scarfiotti) and cinematography (Vittorio Storaro) that helps capture Italy under Mussolini. The film is as timely today as it was when it was released, as the world witnesses a resurgence of authoritarianism in the United States and Europe.Timestamps:0:00      Introduction3:45       Fascist Italy under Mussolini7:58       Why Clerici joins the fascists12:39     Repression of sexual orientation and the desire to belong14:10      Why people are vulnerable to fascism18:56      Manganiello and the fascist enforcer23:43     Perspectives on normalcy and the scenes in Paris31:56      How the film speaks to the Trump era36:40     Architecture in Mussolini's Italy39:08     The murder of Quadri and Anna44:39     After Mussolini falls50:30     The lack of consequences for going along with fascism 56:04     The Holocaust in Mussolini's Italy      Further reading:Bosworth, R.J.B., Mussolini's Italy: Life under the Fascist Dictatorship, 1915-1945 (2006)Elbiri, Bilge, “It's Time to See ‘The Conformist' Again,” Vulture (Jan. 14, 2023)Huq, Aziz, "America Is Watching the Rise of a Dual State," The Atlantic (Mar. 23. 2025)Kael, Pauline, “‘The Conformist': The Poetry of Images,” New Yorker (Mar. 27, 1971)   Moravia, Alberto, The Conformist (1951)Musil, Robert, The Man Without Qualities (1930-43) Law on Film is created and produced by Jonathan Hafetz.

Click here to check out episodes such as "What if Japan invaded the USSR during WW2?: https://www.patreon.com/pacificwarchannel In the summer of 1943, the Mediterranean island of Sicily became a pivotal battleground in World War II. Recognizing its strategic importance, the Allies launched Operation Husky, aiming to seize control and weaken Axis powers. Under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, a diverse coalition of American, British, and Canadian forces prepared for an audacious amphibious invasion. On July 9, the Allies landed on the beaches of Sicily, facing fierce resistance from German and Italian troops. The initial landings were chaotic but successful, as Allied forces quickly established a foothold. The ensuing battles were marked by intense fighting in towns like Syracruse and Catania. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but relentless Allied pressure ultimately drove the Axis forces into retreat. As the campaign progressed, the relationship between Mussolini and Hitler strained under the weight of defeat. The Allies closed in on the capital, Palermo, while the Italian government began to crumble. On July 25, Mussolini was ousted, marking a turning point in the war. The Allied victory in Sicily not only secured a vital stronghold in the Mediterranean but also led to Italy's surrender and the collapse of fascist power. The conquest of Sicily set the stage for the liberation of mainland Italy, significantly altering the course of the war in Europe. The collaboration of Allied forces highlighted the strength of unity against tyranny, forging a pathway toward eventual victory over Axis nations.

Malta es una pequeña y semi-desértica isla del Mediterráneo de la que casi nadie se acordaría si no fuera por su privilegiada posición central en el eje este-oeste y su cercanía, tanto a Sicilia por el norte, como al continente africano por el sur. Esa posición estratégica le ha llevado a ser escenario de dos asedios memorables, el sufrido en 1565, de la mano de los otomanos contra los caballeros hospitalarios y las fuerzas enviadas por nuestro Felipe II (que ya tratamos en este podcast); y el llevado a cabo por el Eje contra los británicos durante los años 1940 a 1942. El dominio de los cielos sobre Malta y su neutralización como base británica fue un objetivo tanto de Mussolini como de Hitler y en ello empeñaron no pocos esfuerzos. El asedio, no obstante, no se culminó con un intento de desembarco en la isla y se vio limitado a acciones sobre todo aéreas y alguna naval de menor entidad. Conducidos por nuestro compañero Rafa Palafox, Javier Veramendi y Óscar Oliver nos contarán con todo detalle cómo se desarrollaron los años de asedio aéreo, sus consecuencias estratégicas en el esfuerzo militar en el norte de África y, también, cómo afectó esta situación extrema a la población de la isla. Después, Rafa interrogará a Óscar sobre el proceso de desarrollo, edición y de publicación del juego de SNAFU Nothing Left to Bomb.

Maurizio Giordano"Il raccoglitore di nocciole"Dalle Langhe piemontesi alla Riviera ligure di PonenteFusta Editorewww.fustaeditore.itDalle Langhe piemontesi alla Riviera ligure, il racconto di un adolescente come tanti, alla ricerca di un luogo in cui finalmente sentirsi accettato. La sua ricerca lo porterà lontano da casa, a districarsi tra piccole storie e la grande storia, quella dell'industrializzazione del Nord Italia e della nascita del mito della Riviera ligure, e della Grande guerra poi. Una vita che rincorre i primi amori, lavori e incontri straordinari, nel mondo in fermento dell'Italia agli inizi del Novecento, che sembra spalancare le porte ai giovani, per poi richiuderle all'improvviso.È il 1906 e nell'Alta Langa gli adolescenti come Deto raccolgono le nocciole nelle proprietà del conte Alberici-Bodét. Ma se agli altri raccoglitori quella vita basta, a Deto no, e rincorre le grandi passioni e le grandi storie attraverso la letteratura. Innamoratosi della giovane Adele, Deto si trova coinvolto suo malgrado in una competizione con il violento e arrogante Milo, dalla quale esce sconfitto, vittima di un crudele inganno. Da allora la sua vita cambia. Lascia le amate colline piemontesi per raggiungere Oneglia, nello stesso giorno della scomparsa del celebre scrittore Edmondo De Amicis, anch'egli originario della città ligure. Ma Deto, appena trasferitosi a Oneglia, fatica a farsi accettare. Nella nuova pensione fa la conoscenza di un coinquilino singolare: Benito Mussolini, professore di francese dall'indole fiera e anticlericale, uomo povero eppure carismatico, che dirige il foglio socialista locale La Lima. L'atmosfera cittadina, tra pettegolezzi e aspirazioni politiche, solletica l'animo di Deto. Parallelamente, l'Italia sta attraversando uno slancio industriale: a Oneglia fioriscono fonderie, pastifici e attività legate all'olio d'oliva. In questo fermento, Deto conosce l'esuberante liceale Erica, che gli regala l'ebbrezza di un amore giovanile intenso e sincero. Ma i casi della vita spesso sono comici, a volte sono spietati. Quella di Deto è una storia che si incrocia con la grande storia degli inizi del Novecento, un romanzo di formazione che è pretesto per conoscere il Piemonte e la Liguria di un tempo, riscoprire la voglia di vivere di chi ha ancora tutti gli anni davanti, e uscirne troncati.Maurizio GiordanoNato a Imperia nel 1960, libero professionista, scrittore per diletto. Ha esordito con la pubblicazione di due fascicoli a uso didattico divulgativo di carattere tecnico a supporto degli istituti tecnici e professionali. Successivamente ha affrontato la scrittura di tre libri dedicati alla storia, alle testimonianze e alle antiche cronache della città di Imperia, pubblicati con il Centro Editoriale Imperiese: Le chiavi di volta, 2015, Le Ville d'epoca di Porto Maurizio e Oneglia, 2016 e La Città che faceva sognare, 2017.

If you had told me the seminal book 1984 by George Orwell, I read decades ago, was a prognosticator rather than a theoretical dissertation based on historical realities, I would have laughed in your face while keeping my fingers crossed that we as a society, learned enough from experience with the totalitarian regimes of Hitler, Mao, Mussolini, and others to never slide down that vile rabbit hole again.

Giorgio Bocca definì l'esposizione in piazzale Loreto dei corpi di Benito Mussolini, di Claretta Petacci e dei gerarchi uccisi sul lago di Como «un atto rivoluzionario» su cui si sarebbe fatto «dell'inutile moralismo». Per Ferruccio Parri, leader azionista della Resistenza, il 29 aprile 1945 andò in scena a Milano «una macelleria messicana». Piazzale Loreto, simbolo di vergogna nazionale per la letteratura neofascista, diventò luogo identitario di una parte politica. La narrazione prevalente del dopoguerra ha oscurato però il massacro dei quindici partigiani uccisi per rappresaglia da un plotone della Legione Muti otto mesi e mezzo prima della Liberazione, il 10 agosto 1944. I loro corpi erano stati esposti per volontà dei nazisti come monito alla popolazione. Fu una ferita, mai rimarginata, alla tradizione civile della città.

Il cacciatore di libri

"M - La fine e il principio" di Antonio Scurati Puntata dedicata alla serie "M" nella quale Antonio Scurati ha narrato la nascita e la caduta del fascismo e ha acceso un faro sulle contraddizioni di Benito Mussolini. Il quinto e ultimo volume è "M - La fine e il principio" (Bompiani). Tutto era iniziato con "M - Il figlio del secolo" nel quale si raccontava la nascita del Fascismo che nel 1919 era stato proposto come un movimento progressista in antitesi al vecchiume dell'epoca. Fin da subito, però, il Fascismo ha fatto della violenza il suo modus operandi. Nel corso dei vari libri, che Scurati stesso ha definito "romanzi documentario" in quanto puntellati da documenti d'epoca, lo scrittore ha raccontato le nefandezze del Fascismo, ma soprattutto ha messo in evidenza il comportamento contraddittorio del Duce. Da una parte si presentava come emblema di coraggio e di potere, dall'altra dimostrava ottusità politica, mediocrità e cinismo (per esempio mandando a combattere un esercito mal equipaggiato). In questo romanzo conclusivo si va dal '43 al '45, quindi la caduta del Fascismo decretata dal Gran Consiglio il 28 luglio del '43, la Repubblica di Salò, la guerra civile, l'occupazione nazista, le rappresaglie, insomma violenza e ancora violenza. Con un Benito Mussolini che appare apatico, disilluso, depresso, ma soprattutto che ancora una volta tradisce il suo popolo.

Each theater of war during World War 2 offered something unique and dangerous, Europe it was the winters, the Pacific had tropical diseases, but North Africa, it was a whole different ballgame. A desert stretching more than 2,000 miles from Morocco to Egypt with a lotta wide open spaces between. When Hitler invaded France on May 10, 1940, Mussolini waited with bated breath for the right moment to announce he was taking his talents to the Axis IYKYK. 4 weeks into the Battle of France it was obvious France wasn't going to keep Germany out of her, so Mussolini makes his declaration of war on the Allies June 10.. Now Benny had told Adolf he wasn't gonna be ready until 1942 to make with the warring but the prospect of expanding across N. Africa (they already controlled Libya, which happens to border British controlled Egypt) was too good to pass up. Mussolini believed Hitler's planned invasion of the British home islands would pull a large amount of forces away from Egypt and it would be easy pickings. He'd capture the Suez Canal and control the Mediterranean, preventing the Allies from launching any invasions from the south. Well Hitler's invasion never happened but Benito was so excited he decided to go forward with the battle for North Africa anyway. It started out pretty much how you'd expect for the Italians, they weren't ready, the British were. The Royal Navy reigned supreme in the Med which meant for the duration of the North Africa Campaign, all supplies coming from Italy were under attack. It didn't take long for Mussolini to go hat in hand to Hitler and ask for help. Hitler decided to send one of his most decorated general's at the time, Erwin Rommel to clean up the Italian mess. What followed was the first real instance of Axis vs Allies on a large scale and it served to influence how the war was going to be fought going forward.

On the final episode of season 3, Richard and Matt wax lyrical about a driver whose name might be unfamiliar to many motor racing fans, but who could be regarded as the sport's first bonafide superstar: Tazio Nuvolari.Matt and Richard explain how, in the pre-war era of Grand Prix racing, Nuvolari became the embodiment of everything a racing driver was supposed to be: A virtuoso and a daredevil, who stirred the emotions in a way that crossed national boundaries. There are stories of his great rivalries, his relationships and associations with Enzo Ferrari and (more controversially) Benito Mussolini, plus numerous accounts of his famous driving technique, which included being the originator of the four-wheel drift.And of course there's also plenty of chat about the famous drives that secured Nuvolari's legendary status, including the one where, in obsolete machinery, he defeated the all-conquering German cars in Hitler's backyard, and the one witnessed by a 14-year-old Murray Walker in 1938, which left such an impression on the legendary commentator that the Italian would forever remain his favourite driver.Matt and Richard will be bringing members an exclusive Q&A episode on Patreon, where they'll answer questions on each of the topics covered.

This week, we're diving toga-first into the life and utter chaos of Caligula—the Roman emperor who ruled for just four years and made every single second a full-blown historical fever dream. From horse palaces and floating orgy boats to stabbing Poseidon and bullying his own guards, Caligula redefined what it meant to rule like a god (or at least think he was one). But was he really mad… or just the ultimate troll in a laurel wreath? This is Roman history at its weirdest—and honestly, its most fun. ⏱️ What You'll Hear 00:02:00 – Who was Caligula really? And why did soldiers call him “Little Boots”? 00:06:00 – Roman power struggles, poisoned dads, and childhood trauma 00:08:00 – The golden-boy emperor everyone loved… until he got sick 00:11:00 – Enter: the villain era.

We kick things off with a frothy, zippy, real humdinger of a musical with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers doing their thing.

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated:“Memorial Day is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion (the Civil War) and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet, church yard in the land.”So it is that the primary purpose of Memorial Day is to strew with flowers literally and figuratively the graves and memories of America's daring defenders. They the fallen died for freedom, liberty, for America, for us, for YOU AND ME. We were asked to remember those who died in the great American Civil War, but the day to remember now incorporates all who have given lives in defense of our country. Far too many wars, my fellow Americans, and far too many fallen defenders by the millions who believed in America, and in its fundamental principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all mankind. How grateful we should be.We are descendants or contemporaries of patriots, men and women who cherish freedom and were willing to fight and die to defend it if necessary. These warriors lived by the words of Patrick Henry who said:GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.Our nation was formed in the fight for freedom for there was no life worthwhile without it. There came our great Constitution and our incredible BILL OF RIGHTS, the rights and freedom amendments which are the finest in the history of mankind. But no matter the origin, it seems as though in so many ways the passion for freedom may have been lost today as they once had it. We seem to take for granted what they died for. And the courage they the fallen had seems lost today in so many ways and the change in our country, produces in so many ways an America in decline, at least politically, philosophically and certainly passionately. Our ancestors fought for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights and the freedoms those now 27 Amendments allow us. They were ready to die for them, but we the current people allow them to be watered down, interpreted away and often ignored without the fight or conviction to protect and defend them. Perhaps the freedoms of Patrick Henry are giving way to a slow but sure death. Perhaps we have failed to meet the challenge of Ben Franklin who told us that the Republic they created for us was a marvelous way of government IF we could keep it. I wonder if we can.So, in the midst of barbeques and baseball, it is so healthy to look back andremember. Remember a George Washington, a general, a leader, a President, awarrior, a patriot. Or a Paul Revere who rode the land warning that the enemy wascoming, sounding the alarm. It seems as though we need more Paul Reveres, warningus that enemies to our Constitution and way of life are coming, and in fact are HERE.We the people should be ever mindful of the threats and sound the alarm as he did,like those who energized our country once before, THE BOSTON TEA PARTYPATRIOTS and the revolution their courageous acts energized and inspired. They tooka stand against taxes and so must we. Ours continue to rise, and rise to the point ofconfiscation and nothing but nothing destroys freedom like taxes. President JohnAdams reminded us that the two killers of liberty are slavery and debt. The debt ofconfiscatory taxation strangles freedom and that is happening at an incredibly rapidpace today. Shame on us.It is hard for us to think back and remember the early days in America when slavery,slavery was a way of life in America to our great shame and embarrassment. We themoderns find that inconceivable, and the practice of slavery of any kind abhorrent, dowe not? Right-thinking men and women fought and fell to rid America of the scourgeof slavery, God bless them.And to rid the world of despots like Hitler, evil to the core, Mussolini and those who inwar would destroy the freedom and liberty of all. God bless them.There can hardly be a family anywhere in America which has not laid a son ordaughter on the altar of freedom. So many fought and fell, lives given willingly for usin war after war. And there were those who supported those who fought. We honorthem. Many of our warriors and defenders came home hurt and damaged in body ormind perhaps for a lifetime. On Memorial Day, we honor these veterans of wars, theseHEROES, these wounded warriors who gave us our freedom:WE OWE THEM!A debt we can never repay. To honor them is the least we can do, to thank them as weremember and as we encounter those in our military who follow after them. Weshould help and support them. They lived and died for what they believed. WheneverI encounter a member of our military, I thank them for what they did and what they dofor our great country, for me, and for you, and for my friends and loved ones and allAmericans whether I know them or not. But I really do know them for I know what isin their hearts and minds and I know they love America as much as I do. I will salutethem as a sign of respect. I wish them to know that I will always be grateful foreverything they do for me and the America I love. Perhaps YOU should do the same,not on one Memorial Day, but all days. They the heroes and defenders are the verybest of us.God bless them.Memorial Day is always celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery, a very specialplace, a burial site for some of America's bravest. At 3 PM on that Monday, a veryspecial ceremony occurs and each grave is decorated with a small American flag. Thehighlight of the celebration is a speech in honor of these brave men and women fromthe President or Vice President of the United States honoring their contributions toAmerica and laying a wreath at the tomb of The Unknown Soldier. That tombrepresents tens of thousands of other unknown soldiers who gave their lives in serviceto our country, but in death never got the recognition and respect they so justlydeserved. Do remember them, my fellow Americans, do remember them as well onMemorial Day as there may be no one else, no loved one, no friend or family to do so.And as you do remember these American heroes, thank our God, the God who blessesAmerica for all those who gave so much for us. They allowed us to be parents, to haveand enjoy family, they allowed us to be workers and fully participate in the greatopportunities America offers. THEY allowed us to be all that we can be because oursoldiers, they were determined to be all they could be. Have a special place in yourheart all week for any loved one, family or friend of yours who should beMEMORIALIZED AND REMEMBERED this day and always.And, as we pay tribute and remember, let us become better citizens of this greatcountry, ready more than ever to preserve, protect and defend all it stands for, all ofour blessed and precious freedoms which exist like there are nowhere else in theworld. Let us stand for what is right with actions, protests, town meetings, marches,debate, fact and truth at work, counteracting government spin and disinformation.Let us stand tall for the right, for truth, for all things moral and valuable.

That is:THE VOTEThere is no more powerful weapon than the vote of the American citizen. It is the mostprecious Constitutional right we have and for which our forefathers fought and died.Let us make certain that we vote for those to represent us who so passionately believein these very special freedoms as we do, and they the fallen did.

(01:05) Het is een kleine rel in Italië: de nazaten van het laatste koningshuis willen hun familiejuwelen terug. De sieraden behoren de staat toe, en niet de nazaten van de monarchie die met Mussolini heulden, zo luidde het oordeel in 2022 en zo bevestigde een Romeinse rechtbank vorige week. Maar de familie vecht deze uitspraak aan. De vraag is natuurlijk hoe deze juwelenoorlog afloopt. Historicus en kenner van het Italiaanse koningshuis Frans Willem Lantink vertelt meer.    (11:50) Kunstenaar Marianne Ingleby erft het fotoarchief van haar opa Bruce Elkus, Amerikaans legerfotograaf. In 1944 vertrok hij naar het Japanse eiland Iwo Jima, bekend van een van de bloedigste slagen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.  Als Marianne na zijn dood door de foto's gaat stuit ze op gruwelijke beelden: soldaten met weggeblazen ledematen, een Japanse schedel op een stok als oorlogstrofee en naakte vrouwen met dronken Amerikanen in bordelen. De foto's blijken destijds nooit gepubliceerd: te ontluisterend. Liever keek men naar de wereldberoemde heroïsche foto 'Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima', hét symbool van de Amerikaanse overwinning in de Pacific.  Marianne blijkt goud in handen te hebben met het zeldzame foto-archief. Ze is benieuwd naar de ervaringen van haar eigenzinnige opa, die naast honderden foto's ook aangrijpende brieven vanaf het front naliet. Wat heeft hij meegemaakt aan het front? Waarom maakte hij foto's buiten zijn opdracht? Welke herinneringen roepen ze op bij de Amerikaanse veteranen? En hoe wordt er in Japan op gereageerd?  Samen met radiomaker Laura Stek reist Marianne vanuit Nederland naar Amerika en Japan, gedreven door de vraag: hoe groot is het gat tussen wat we te zien krijgen en de realiteit van oorlog?  Deel 1 en 2 kwamen in 2020 uit, deel 3 en 4 in 2025.  ‘Operatie Onthechting' is een coproductie van Prospektor en VPRO voor NPORadio1.

Die komt ook voor in het eerste deel van ‘Operatie onthechting' dat deze uitzending te horen is.   En over die beroemde foto is de laatste maanden in Amerika controverse ontstaan. Niet over de foto zelf, maar over het Ministerie van Defensie, dat de foto besloot te cancelen.

Une saga palpitante sur les derniers mois de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Juillet 1944. Tandis qu'à l'Est, l'Armée rouge casse définitivement les reins de la Wehrmacht (opération " Bagration") et qu'à l'Ouest, Américains et Britanniques qui piétinaient depuis le Débarquement, percent enfin les défenses allemandes (opération " Cobra"), les chefs alliés sont optimistes : la guerre en Europe sera finie à Noël. Tous se trompent. Elle durera dix mois encore. Les plus coûteux en vies humaines de tout le conflit. Comment l'Allemagne, dont les forces vives – hommes, matériels, infrastructures industrielles, ressources énergétiques – ont été saignées à blanc, a-t-elle pu tenir aussi longtemps ? Pourquoi Hitler, au contraire de Mussolini ou du dictateur roumain Antonescu, n'a-t-il pas été renversé ? Comment l'Union soviétique, dont plus de 20 millions de citoyens ont été exterminés en trois ans, est-elle parvenue, en quelques mois, à recouvrer le terrain perdu et à planter le drapeau rouge au sommet du Reichstag ? Pourquoi les États-Unis passent-ils pour le pays ayant le plus contribué à la victoire sur l'Allemagne alors que sur les 48 millions de morts provoqués par la guerre en Europe, 73 % sont des Russes (16 millions de civils et 9 millions de combattants soit 15 % de la population de l'URSS) et 0,3% seulement des Américains (140 000 morts) ? Même illusion d'optique s'agissant des accords de Yalta (février 1945) et du prétendu " partage du monde " qui en a résulté. Sait-on que ce n'est pas Roosevelt – trop rapidement taxé de complaisance avec Staline – qui a entériné les visées territoriales soviétiques sur l'Europe centrale, mais le très anticommuniste Churchill, cinq mois plus tôt à Moscou, pour préserver la sphère d'influence britannique sur la Grèce et la Méditerranée orientale ? Après tant d'ouvrages écrits sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale, raconter l'histoire de son achèvement européen était nécessaire pour tordre le cou à beaucoup d'idées reçues. C'est l'objet de ce livre dont l'originalité repose sur les angles morts qu'il a choisi d'éclairer, et la force au rare talent d'écriture de son auteur.L'auteur Eric Branca est notre invité en studioDistribué par Audiomeans.

Le Vatican est devenu un pays en 1929 grâce aux Accords du Latran, signés entre l'État italien et le Saint-Siège. Voici une explication claire, étape par étape.1. Avant 1870 : le pape dirige un territoirePendant des siècles, les papes ne sont pas seulement des chefs religieux. Ils dirigent aussi un État : les États pontificaux, un ensemble de territoires situés au centre de l'Italie (dont Rome), que le pape gouverne comme un souverain.2. En 1870 : l'Italie prend RomeAu XIXe siècle, l'Italie cherche à devenir un pays unifié. En 1870, l'armée italienne prend Rome, dernier bastion des États pontificaux. Le pape perd ses territoires et se considère comme prisonnier du Vatican, refusant de reconnaître l'autorité de l'État italien sur Rome. C'est ce qu'on appelle la "question romaine" : un conflit entre l'Italie et le pape.3. En 1929 : accords entre l'Italie et le papePour mettre fin au conflit, le gouvernement italien de Benito Mussolini et le pape Pie XI signent les Accords du Latran, le 11 février 1929. Ces accords disent trois choses essentielles :L'Italie reconnaît l'indépendance du Vatican.Le pape reconnaît l'existence de l'État italien, avec Rome pour capitale.L'État italien donne au pape un territoire souverain d'environ 44 hectares : c'est le Vatican, petit État enclavé dans Rome.4. Le Vatican devient un ÉtatGrâce aux Accords du Latran :Le Vatican a un territoire, une population (environ 800 habitants), une monnaie (l'euro), des ambassades, une police, et même une radio.Il est reconnu comme État souverain selon le droit international.Il est gouverné par le pape, qui a tous les pouvoirs : c'est une théocratie absolue.5. Aujourd'huiLe Vatican est le plus petit État du monde en superficie et en population. Il est membre de certaines organisations internationales, mais pas de l'ONU (où le Saint-Siège a un statut d'observateur). Il reste le centre de l'Église catholique, et le pape y exerce une double autorité : religieuse et politique.En résuméLe Vatican est devenu un pays grâce aux Accords du Latran de 1929.Ces accords ont officiellement créé un État souverain pour le pape.Le Vatican est donc à la fois un pays indépendant et le cœur de l'Église catholique.

Matt Crawford speaks with Andrew Holter about his book, Going Around: Selected Journalism Murray Kempton. A courtly man of Southern roots, Murray Kempton worked as a labor reporter for the New York Post, won a Pulitzer Prize while at Newsday, and was arrested at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago along the way. He wore three piece suits and polished oxfords and was known for riding his bicycle around New York City while listening to his CD Walkman and smoking a pipe with wild red hair that later turned white. He developed a taste for baroque prose and became, in the words of Robert Silvers, his editor at The New York Review of Books, ''unmatched in his moral insight into the hypocrisies of politics and their consequences for the poor and powerless.'' He went to court proceedings and traffic accidents and funerals and to speeches by people who either were or wanted to be rich and famous. He wrote about everything and anybody—Tonya Harding and Warren Harding, Fidel Castro and Mussolini, Harry Truman and Sal Maglie, St. Francis of Assisi and James Joyce and J. Edgar Hoover. From dispatches from a hardscrabble coal town in Western Maryland, a bus carrying Freedom Riders through Mississippi, an Iowa cornfield with Nikita Krushchev, an encampment of guerrillas in El Salvador, and Moscow at the end of the Soviet Union (these last two assignments filed by a reporter in his 70s), Kempton's concerns and interests were extraordinarily broad. He wrote about subjects from H.L. Mencken to Tupac Shakur; organized labor and McCarthyism; the Civil Rights and Black Power movements; presidential hopefuls and Mafiosi; frauds and failures of all stripes; the “splendors and miseries” of life in New York City.

We break down Gramsci's key concepts, including cultural hegemony, the role of organic intellectuals, and the importance of building counter-hegemonic institutions. We also examine his fierce opposition to Italian fascism, his imprisonment by Mussolini, and how his prison notebooks continue to offer critical insights for revolutionary struggle today. This is an accessible yet deep dive into one of the most original Marxist thinkers of the 20th century—essential listening for anyone serious about strategy, ideology, and the long war of position.

Along with discussing the big runs by Casper Ruud, Jack Draper, and Aryna Sabalenka, we discuss what's up with Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek. Then we shift our attention to Rome, where there've been some unideal renovations to some nice Mussolini legacy work, and where Jannik Sinner could pick up right where he left off. Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D. And please check out Ben's new writing home, Bounces! And Tumaini's work at The Guardian!

After last week's episode, “The Emergency Is Here,” we got a lot of emails. And the most common reply was: You really think we'll have midterm elections in 2026? Isn't that naïve?I think we will have midterms. But one reason I think so many people are skeptical of that is they're working with comparisons to other places: Mussolini's Italy, Putin's Russia, Pinochet's Chile.But we don't need to look abroad for parallels; it has happened here.Steven Hahn is a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian at New York University and the author of “Illiberal America: A History.” In this conversation, he walks me through some of the most illiberal periods in American history: Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830, Jim Crow, the Red Scare, Japanese American internment, Operation Wetback. And we discuss how this legacy can help us better understand what's happening right now.This episode contains strong language.Book Recommendations:Democracy in America by Alexis de TocquevilleFrom the War on Poverty to the War on Crime by Elizabeth HintonTroubled Memory by Lawrence N.
