So I took you on a follow up and detour away from the main event here, which is Meloni

and how the Western media is covering it anyway is a battle over whether or not she is in

fact a fascist.

It's a politically diverse group on both sides.

There are mainstream corporate media op-eds explaining Meloni is not the best, but she is

no fascist.

And you have others in the same media context.

The corporate ties, Neoliberal media context saying absolutely she is a fascist.

She is part and parcel of the growing wave of fascism across the globe.

This is a real danger.

And there are people on the left I've seen who have said, well, sure, she's bad.

She's a fascist, but who isn't with Neoliberalism being what it is and Joe Biden being who

he is?

Yeah, I'll call her a fascist, but I want to be clear that she's no worse than any

of the leaders here who are making a big stink about her just because she uses a certain

kind of language, but at the end of the day, the economic policies.

And many of the social policies are right in line with democratic Neoliberalism.

What do you make of this for?

Yes, it's a difficult question as it depends much on what people mean by fascists or how

they think being a fascist or not being a fascist going to imply in terms of how we judge

these people.

She certainly was a fascist.
