    From right to left, we have:

    • Benito Mussolini, from Italy
    • Adolf Hitler, from Germany
    • Francisco Franco, from Spain

    But it’s missing António Salazar, from Portugal, the only dictator that managed to play both sides during WW2, selling tungsten to Germany in exchange of gold, while striking a deal to concede an area for the Allies to establish an air base, still occupied to this day by the US.

    Fuck the entire lot.

    I mean, I don’t think fascism ever died. Unfortunately, It’s been alive and thriving throughout the world (especially the global south) in large part due to the US. Can’t be too surprised that now it’s folding inward.
