Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?

  Strongly disagree. Fascists wave went through the substantial part of Europe, not a “few powerful countries”.

  You called 1920s Italy “powerful”?! As an Italian…let’s say I remain baffled.

    So the point of the comment was the relative strength of leftists during the era, not whether/how powerful the fascists were

      I didn’t read your “powerful” as an adjective qualifying the fascists, but as one qualifying the countries susceptible to see the rise of fascism, and in the case of Italy, both are wrong.

      Also, just like the Danish government nowadays, Mussolini came from a Leftist background and later started applying authoritarian and later totalitarian policies and measures.
