>What was the deal with this man ?
He's a very dynamic and important figure during a volatile time of history.
>Was he an evil dictator
Not really. Only if you're a tankie LARPer or something.
>Was he a good politician
Yes, his only mistake was allying with Hitler.
>Was he good for Italy
Pretty every Italian from that time who isn't a communist or mafia member will say that Mussolini was good for Italy.

He dragged Italy into war and lost, how can Italians view him fondly

>God does not exist—religion in science is an absurdity, in practice an immorality and in men a disease.

I don't get fascists. I thought they were supposed to be trad, but they aren't at all.

Fascists are whatever they think appeals to the masses. Usually tradition appeals to the masses so they tend to go that direction.

Or they tell people they're being exploited and to attack other demographics to redistribute wealth.

They're sort of neo-traditional, if I had to attempt to find a word for it. They believe in heirarchy and order much like traditional societies but without much of the things the peons who made up society enjoyed.

Where did the meme that Fascists are traditional come from? Fascism is as revolutionary as the communists at the time was.

'Lets take society and evolve it into something new using memes of old things' is not the same thing as actually wanting old things.
