I am 2 hours into the 7 hours worth of real dictators on Mussolini, and there's so much I didn't know in there. 

For some reason, Fascism was always soo closely tied up with Hitler to me (ofc, as a German maybe that's natural) haha - then to find out he actually used the Mussolini playbook. 

And Mussolini himself copied a bunch of his ideas from Gabriele D'Annunzio, who seems to have led an insane life by any standard. 

History a rabbit hole that goes deep.
