The Left’s claims about Italy’s Meloni being a fascist were never true

Published March 13, 2024 5:45pm ET



It’s time to admit a harsh reality: Liberals, Democrats, and others on the Left have a fascist fetish. Anyone they don’t like or who runs counter to their political beliefs gets labeled a fascist, far right-wing extremist. It’s not just restricted to the United States; it’s a worldwide phenomenon. It’s also a tactic rooted in traditional communism and Marxism. None of it is true, of course. It’s just hyperbolic hysteria meant to try to scare people into supporting the Left. Such was the case with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Throughout her rise to prominence, Meloni has rightfully called out the evils of the Left’s political ideals. As a result, she has been called a neo-Nazi, a fascist, a far-right extremist, a Benito Mussolini enthusiast, and every other possible name one could think of to demonize her. The communists, who comprise a large part of the global Left’s network, were threatened by Meloni, who championed ideas such as the nuclear family, marriage, and protecting the lives of the unborn. She repeatedly pointed out how the Left could be villainous and the actual threat to civilization.
