Too Much Psychiatry in Some Fascisms : Italy


Benito Albino Mussolini was abducted by government agents and was told that his mother was dead. In 1931, he was adopted as an orphan at 15 by the fascist ex-police chief of Sopramonte. Initially educated at a Barnabite college in Moncalieri,[4] he enrolled in the Italian Royal Navy and always remained under close surveillance by the fascist government. Nevertheless, he persisted in stating that Benito Mussolini was his father and eventually, he was forcibly interned in an asylum in Mombello, Province of Milan, where he died on 26 August 1942 after he was repeatedly given coma-inducing injections, at the age of 26. Ida and Benito were officially described as “a danger to themselves and others” but hospital records show that both of them were lucid.[3]

If Il Duce basically killed his son through shrinks, that reminds of the US, where the Kennedys destroyed the life of Rosemary.

I think every 20th C. régime, with few and small exceptions, had some evil side. Even Fascism.

Mussolini treated his political opponents (after the street fights ended in 1922 and before the Salò Republic) with more delicacy than his own son./HGL
