Even worse is his small discussion of the EU, which calls something along the lines of "Fascist-Like".

I thought he said that the idea of a unified Europe found a president the ideas of people like Mosley, not that the EU was Fascist-like. Before the war people like Kalergi were also advocating for a united Europe.

I need to read up on my EU history again.

    He literally says "If you take a look at what the EU is today, it is not a whole lot different from what the Italian Fascists imagined."

    [36:10] Given I thought one of the aims of the European projecect was to diminish nationalism that statement does seem bizarre on the face of it.

    One day I intend to read up on Mussolini's Italy. The mainstream portrays him as a buffoon but I gather there is more to him than that. If anyone has any sources feel free to post them below.
