      My country’s already had its fair share of dictators. Why would I care about an Italian one?

        Because Mussolini wasn’t just some tinpot dictator. He was the founder of modern fascism. He changed the entire world. Hundreds of millions of people died, empires crumbled, and history was written because of what he did. He wasn’t just “an Italian one.”
