"If I had been an Italian, I am sure I would have been entirely with you from the beginning to the end of your victorious struggle."
Winston Churchill,
in an address to the Fascists of Rome,
January 1927.
It was after some inner debate that I ran this quote. I have never been a fan of Churchill since I heard of his role in getting the army to fire on striking workers. That's the sign of a man who has no empathy for social justice.
I think what this quote shows is that Italian Fascism was widely recognised as a force for good and that, despite societal constraints etc. it made Italy a stronger, unified nation wherein the workers enjoyed prosperity (how unlike the UK in 1927!).
The quote also shows that Churchill was a fly-by-night who went whichever way the wind blew, or perhaps whichever way those who paid his debts dictated...
If nothing else, the above quote will allow those kosher Tories and Neo-Con apologists who bandy Churchill's image and fame about as a "Great Briton" with worrying regularity to embrace the Christian, Social Justice and National Freedom tenets of fascism!
Everyone's a winner! ;-)

He was also responsible for Gallipoli.
Sent the Cossacks back to Stalin.
Also publicly declared Bolshevism as being Jewish, but far from using this revelation to enlighten the population, he eventually became a stooge and a plaything for his jew puppet-masters.
But was named the Greatest Brit. which merely drew attention the lack of historical knowledge and crassness of the general population!
Churchill fell into the grop of Zionists when out of power during the Twenties and Thirties. He ran up large debts which were 'paid' for him. He who pays the piper... because Churchill the anti Zionist/Bolshevik of the 1920's is politically dead by 1933 - wasn't that when the Zionists declared war on Germany?
