Podcast appearances and mentions of Benito Mussolini

The Life and Legacy of Haile Selassie: From Emperor to God

“Italy, Gentlemen, wants peace, wants quiet, wants work, wants calm; we will give it with love, if that be possible, or with strength, if that be necessary.” This is the story of Italy's Benito Mussolini's creation of fascism and rise to power in interwar Italy. Benito starts life the way his father intended—as a socialist—and the often moving, young schoolteacher quickly emerges as a leading voice in the movement as he's entrusted to serve as the editor of one of the party's most important newspapers. But the Great War changes that. Benito supports it, the party doesn't, and by the conflict's end, the returned soldier has a new idea—one that takes him across the political spectrum, all the way from the Marxist left to the nationalist far-right—a violent, war-glorifying, anti-democratic, one-party, dictatorial version of nationalism. He calls it “fascism.”  Benito speaks of order. Economic prosperity. National pride. Some see his black-clad fighting squads, known as “Blackshirts,” as their saviors from the far-left's communism, so feared in the wake of the recent Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Indeed, many Italians welcome his march on Rome and his growing powers as Prime Minister, and celebrate his foreign policy achievements, including a reconciliation between Italy and the Vatican.  But as Benito kills Italy's constitutional monarchy in all but name as he turns into a dictator, conquers Ethiopia, ignores the League of Nations, and bonds with Germany's rising dictator Adolf Hitler, former allies are growing concerned. Some fear his anti-democratic path will also embolden Germany. As W.E.B. Du Bois questions: “If Italy takes her pound of flesh by force, does anyone suppose that Germany will not make a similar attempt?” Only time will tell.

Along with the rise of Mussolini's fascist regime, the interwar years in Italy also saw the widespread development of its modernist interior design and furnishing practices. While the regime's politics were overtly manifest in monumental government architecture, Furnishing Fascism: Modernist Design and Politics in Italy (University of Minnesota Press, 2025) by Dr. Ignacio G. Galán examines the subtler yet effective role of household goods and decor in the cultivation of Italy's exclusionary sense of national identity. Presenting a fresh look at the work of various architects and designers, including iconic figures such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Enrico Rava, Dr. Galán explores how seemingly neutral products of everyday life contributed to the propagation of fascist ideology. Through extensive promotion in popular magazines and department stores, on the film sets of Cinecittà Studios, and throughout the country's colonial territories, Italy's modernist design practices were part of a larger political project that aimed to produce a totalizing image of cultural hegemony. Interweaving design theory, architectural history, and media scholarship, Furnishing Fascism reexamines the period's so-called minor arts to reveal the political entanglement of modernism in early twentieth-century Italy and offers valuable insight into the complications of cultural production under the auspices of authoritarian power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The Trickster as 47th President by Chris AbrahamDonald Trump was always easy to sneer at. He was a tabloid punchline long before he was the gold-plated game show boss my mother adored. The Apprentice was her favorite. I rolled my eyes. He was tacky, vulgar — a human golden toilet. We told ourselves he'd never be more than that. Yet here we are: he's the 47th President of the United States. The only non-consecutive two-termer since Grover Cleveland. But Cleveland never danced to the Village People's YMCA more often than the cover bands. Trump does it at every rally. He does the stiff-hipped monkey dance, gives you the same punchlines, the same nicknames, the same red meat, and when the haters turn it into an obscene meme — he grins and does it again.Most presidents beg you to respect them. They want the hush when they walk in. They correct you if you use the wrong honorific. They bristle when mocked. Hillary carried her résumé like a holy relic: “Respect me, I've earned this.” Biden snaps “Come on, man!” every time the mask slips. Obama, the professorial jazzman, stayed cool until the press poked too deep. Bush Sr. was so polite he looked weak next to Bubba's sax. Nixon taped his own paranoia. Carter lectured the country into a mood swing. Ford fell, Chevy Chase made him fall forever. But Trump? He lives for your laughter. He wants the jeers. He wants you to call him Donnie, DJT, a clown — because then you're in the tent. He's the trickster who cannot be shamed. He turns every insult into merch. Every meme is another ticket sold.This is the piece the Beltway never got. They think “dangerous demagogue” means barbed wire camps and midnight helicopters. But America doesn't do Pinochet. Trump's coup was the vacuum: the working middle he stole while the party of labor became the party of brunch. The union dads who went from FDR to Lock Her Up. The old Dixiecrats who realized they'd rather be insulted by a clown than scolded by the class valedictorian. He didn't bring tanks — he brought the carnival.They call him a “wannabe dictator” because he never quite becomes one. Four years in office, and no mass roundups. Now he's back — pushing 80 — constitutionally capped at one final term. They insist the sequel will be the real nightmare. But here he stands, arms wide, the same routine, the same golden hat. The same monkey dance. If he were truly the next Mussolini, he's the worst at it in modern history.People want a trickster who won't flinch. The whole country is a hazing ritual: your tribe tests if you can be mocked, if you crumble. The presidents who survive know how to laugh it off. The ones who can't — they fade. Trump is the bar comic who never breaks under hecklers. He keeps selling you the same show. He knows the final trick is mortal — the lights go out in 3.5 years. But until then, the moral is the same:Never underestimate the man who never asks you to respect him. In America, that's the oldest magic trick there is.

Otto Johann Anton Skorzeny nació en Viena, 12 de junio de 1908 y falleció en Madrid, 5 de julio de 1975. Fue un ingeniero civil y coronel austríaco de las Waffen-SS, que estuvo al mando de la unidad Friedentahler, especialista en operaciones especiales durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la postguerra.[​ Experto en acciones de espionaje y sabotaje, fue apodado por los estadounidenses como «Caracortada» debido a las grandes cicatrices que surcaban sus mejillas. Se hizo famoso al rescatar al dictador italiano Benito Mussolini, así como por llevar a cabo la Operación Greif («Grifo», en español), que le valió el título de «el hombre más peligroso de Europa» por los Aliados. Se cree que fue uno de los principales organizadores de ODESSA en España. Fué guardaespaldas de Eva Perón. Pero una investigación publicada originalmente en el periódico judío Forward acaba de revelar que el célebre ex teniente coronel de la Waffen-SS tuvo un empleador aún más inesperado: los servicios de seguridad israelíes. Y Skorzeny –quien nunca renunció completamente a la ideología nazi llegó incluso a matar por cuenta de Israel. Se supo por fuentes impecables, que después de considerar matarlo, Mossad decidió que era mejor reclutarlo", le dijo Raviv al programa The World, producido por Public Radio International en colaboración con la BBC. Afirman los periodistas Dan Raviv y Yossi Melman, "es una de las historias sin contar más importantes de los archivos del Mossad”. Participo para el Mossad en una operación para detruir los planes del presidente de Egipto Naser. Se le relacionó con la búsqueda Nazi del Santo Grial: los libros de Otto Rahn y la imaginación del coronel Howard Buechner salen a la luz falsas teórias. www.latortugaavui.com Redes: Instagram: area-hermetica-radio.

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.

Las guerras relámpago han sido una de las fantasías tradicionales de los dictadores. Mussolini acuñó el concepto de guerra celere, y le costó siete meses someter al ejército de lo que él llamaba Abisinia, que combatía con armas de la época de Mahoma. Hitler, por su parte, lo llamó blitzkrieg, y lo que en 1939 empezó como un paseo militar no acabó hasta seis años después, cuando se pegó un tiro en la boca en el búnker de Berlín.

Hey did you know I have exclusive Podcast Episodes on Patreon? 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.

Welcome to the second episode of our new and ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.On this episode of Fascism On Film, the Holmes Brothers head back to Italy during the time of the Second World War to discuss the Franco Zeffirelli's 1999 film Tea With Mussolini. It stars Cher, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Lily Tomlin and Joan Plowright. The film is a semi-autobiographical tale about a young orphaned boy left to be raised by old English and American lady expats living in Italy. The film shows the events of Italy before and during the war through the eyes of the boy Luca (played by Baird Wallace as a teenager and Charlie Lucas as a boy) who is brought up by these ladies.

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. In questo podcast, il giornalista Dino Messina racconta le due vicende. Messina, autorevole firma del Corriere della Sera, ha scritto per Solferino "Piazzale Loreto. I due volti della Liberazione".

"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.

Lasting contributions to radical political thought were made by Antonio Gramsci, the Italian thinker, writer, and politician who was imprisoned by Mussolini's fascist regime. Andy Merrifield discusses Gramsci's insights into political economy, everyday experience, social change, and the role of intellectuals.

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. Tormenting senators, gladiator cosplay, and birthday revenge 00:13:00 – Floating bridges, floating orgies, and Mussolini's wild archaeological discovery 00:17:00 – Declaring war on the ocean and forcing soldiers to collect seashells 00:20:00 – The assassination that changed Roman history—and why the public still loved him

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of racism, sexual assault, false imprisonment. We've got a new name, a new season, and a new series! First up, we talk about our name change with a tagline you may be familiar with. Then, we kick off a new series with a trip through ALL the decades - if the year ends in 5, we're watching a movie from it! We kick things off with a frothy, zippy, real humdinger of a musical with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers doing their thing. Remarkably, this movie is incredibly wholesome and unproblematic, its most offensive thing being a wacky Italian accent that angered Mussolini - in short, a net benefit.

In the summer of 1944, as the German forces were retreating in northern Italy, a small group of soldiers made a detour to a remote villa in search of Albert Einstein's cousin. Robert Einstein posed no threat to the Nazi regime, but nonetheless they were determined to hunt him down. The tragic events that followed are the basis of a new book by the bestselling author Thomas Harding – he spoke to Rob Attar about an appalling crime and the decades-long hunt for justice that followed. (Ad) Thomas Harding is the author of The Einstein Vendetta: Hitler, Mussolini, and a True Story of Murder (Michael Joseph, 2025).

What is Evil? Different tradition have different ideas. In this compelling Q & A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how the Bhakti tradition understands darkness, Satan, and the concept of evil. Is it a cosmic force? A personal being? Or simply the absence of divine light? Other questions include how to navigate workplace obligations at bars while maintaining spiritual sobriety, and what pure devotional service looks like in today's world. Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠Evil explained Bhakti-style: darkness isn't a rival force—it's what happens when we turn away from the light •⁠  ⁠What to do when your boss schedules meetings in a bar (spoiler: garlic-soaked pizza may also be involved) •⁠  ⁠Pure devotion demystified: how love shows up in kirtan, service, and yes, even chicken coop assignments •⁠  ⁠Lessons from Mussolini to CBGB's: the slippery slope of bad choices and the art of guarding your inner light •⁠  ⁠It's not about being judgmental—but about choosing clarity over compromise
