Yes, Italian fascism, led by Benito Mussolini, was a far-right political ideology characterized by authoritarianism, nationalism, and a rejection of liberal democracy and socialism. While fascism drew on some left-wing organizational tactics, its core tenets—including an emphasis on a strong leader, national unity, and traditional social hierarchies—firmly placed it on the right of the political spectrum, specifically the far-right.

Liberalism promised freedom without responsibility, rights without force, and equality without consequence. It sold the illusion that words on paper like constitutions, bills of rights, and charters could bind men stronger than the state itself. But without the power to defend them, those words collapse. A democracy where citizens are disarmed is nothing but theater. The paper rights, the elections, the rituals are empty motions while the real power rests with the state that holds the gun.The irony is that places without democracy are more honest. The state admits it rules, admits it holds power, and often upholds its end of the bargain by securing its people and enforcing order. You know the deal and the deal is real. Liberal democracies pretend to be different. They tell you that you rule, that you are free, all while stripping you of the only thing that makes freedom tangible: the means to resist. Britain is the clearest example. It parades elections and paper rights while disarming its citizens and monopolizing violence. Then it fails to deliver even the basic duty of protection.This is the death of liberalism. It does not protect freedom, it undermines it. It does not empower the citizen, it pacifies him. Liberal democracy in practice is dependency dressed up as liberty, a stage play performed to keep the people docile while the state abdicates responsibility and tightens its grip. Liberalism has become a failed experiment: an ideology that promised self-rule and delivered managed decline, that spoke the language of freedom while leaving its people weaker, unarmed, and unable to defend the very rights they were told were eternal.

I beg to differ.

A commentary requires actual content that is thought out and responds directly to the post or thread under consideration. Insults--there's lots of those, ad hominem, and things like memes are not commentary. They are asides to the conversation.

As an aside
The phrase "as an aside" is used to introduce a remark that is not directly related to the main topic of discussion but may still be interesting or relevant. It allows speakers to share additional information or context without disrupting the flow of the conversation. For example, you might say, "As an aside, I noticed that the store will be closed tomorrow for renovations," to add a tidbit that adds value but doesn't fit into the main discussion. This expression is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts to enhance communication and provide extra insights.
