Violet Gibson tried to put Mussolini down like the dog he was, and was diagnosed as insane/spent the rest of her life in a mental institution, ignored by family.

Two chance events prevented Gibson from succeeding: First, Mussolini happened to turn his head to look at a group of nearby students who were singing a song in his honor. This caused the bullet to graze the bridge of his nose rather than hit him square in the face. Second, though Gibson fired another bullet, it lodged in her pistol. By that point, she had already been dragged to the ground by a mob.

History's really rhyming here.

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.

i don't know, I've always found it sad that this was done after he was killed.

Still, his death wasn't peaceful.

good! I think the various religions really steered us all wrong when they told us to not seek vengeance. Sounds like a message designed by people who are due a lot of vengeance.
