Cash Given for Babies Named After Mussolini
Thursday November 27, 2008
The Italian neo-Fascist party, Il Movimento Sociale Fiamma Tricolore (MS-FT), is offering €1,500 ($1,940) to each family that names their baby after Benito Mussolini or his wife, Rachele. The offer is valid only to parents who live in five southern Italian villages and who have a baby born in 2009. The parents do not need to be Fascist themselves, but at least one parent must be Italian. The MS-FT says it is not doing this to promote Fascism, but rather, to increase the falling birthrate in this area of Italy. The MS-FT expects parents to use the money for baby necessities such as diapers and clothes.

this is very sad
Like the kids won’t taunt someone named Benito? It’s not only stupid, it’s asking for trouble!
It is not Mussolini BUT THE DISAPPOINTMENT the world over in FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACIES with their corruption and moral depredation with liberalism and role of money.Societies which have experienced and found some good in nationalism tend to go back on the nostalgia of their tryst with right wing politics. No harm as long as this is for the general good and awakening of self pride.
