This to be honest. It seems like a lot of people distanced themselves from Communism because the Russians fucked it up.

Aside from Mussolini also being expansionist (and, in fact, the promise of said expansionism holding him in power), this was surprisingly accurrate. Particularly aesthetics-wise.

It's pretty much because after Marxist-Leninism every attempt at socialism never made it past state capitalism.
It boils down to if you're a libertarian or anarchist and don't have a stronk state and attempt socialism you get destroyed because you're unorganized and everyone is against you (Ukrainian Free Territory) (Spanish Civil War)
If you have a "vanguard party" and the state owns everything instead of the people you can more easily protect the state but it's usually inherently more corrupt and oppressive.
The need to be new socialist thought. That's why communism doesn't work.

Mussolini had to have been retarded to ruin everything for Hitler.

Ironically, it was the Germans that aped Greco-Roman architecture/civilization with Neoclassism while Italians went with their own thing instead.

Meant less architecture-wise and more that the Italians actually considered their country to be the new roman empire.

Both the Germans and Italians we wuzed the Romans. The Germans probably we wuzed them even more. I mean it doesn't make sense for Italy to adopt this kind of architecture and Futurism in art when they could've just went with Neoclassism instead if they truly wanted to model themselves after Rome.
