I guess Italy didn't learn their lesson about being fascist from getting their ass kicked in the second world war. Guess we're gonna have to beat their ass to remind them.

I mean the US hardly learnt anything either, considering its recent political history and fascists running rampant in its political institutions with a real risk of them gaining actual power (again).

Italians didn't learn for sure. Next time you beat their asses through make sure not to do it with the help of the mafia and other criminals who got this government elected.

Italy switched sides at the last moment and got off practically without repercussions.

You do realize that Italy's dominant party, if I'm not mistaken, is literally moderate fascists after rebranding?

I heard that indeed the Italian government did not do a good job teaching their kids about fascism. In other places such as Germany and Switzerland (and many others, I hope) most students get to know how fascism works and how harmful it is. At least when I was in school, this was part of the teaching program. But in Italy? Apparently not.
