Impossible not to like them; impossible too not to feel that Fascism was, in its beginnings, a genuine revolutionary movement of the people. Easy to see how they have been worked up to hatred of the countries presented to them as
"obese, capitalistic, decadent" - to identify Fascism with the good of the working-class.

Jonathan Vincent Really fits with Russia today, except it's even more cynical and top-down
