A worse influence than Hitler. Maybe not worse than Lenin


NM's reputation as a brilliant thug, a Mussolini of his age, was well deserved.

But you can always find academics to whitewash evil intellectuals.

After all, if you can't whitewash a man you can't justify reading him, morally, can you?

And then you couldn't read him at all, could you?

Unless you were French, perhaps.
