How bad is it in Italy these days? Those who hope for democracy, including those on the left, now largely support a post-fascist who was an ally of Berlusconi's until very recently. A man who once said "Mussolini was the greatest statesman of the century. There are periods in history when freedom isn’t one of the most important values."
Yikes. Yascha Mounk does a number on Gianfranco Fini here, and goes after the rest of the European right (and much of the left) here.
