On this day in 1915, the Italian government joined The Great War. The interventionists were made up largely of disillusioined Socialists, renegade Marxists, national & revolutionary syndicalists – citizen soldiers who returned in 1918 to form the backbone of the future Fascists.

“And it is evident that when Hitler assumes power, in 1933, the Fascist era is already in its eleventh year of life. What is original in the Hitlerian revolution is the concept of ʻrace,ʼ which is different from our concept of ʻnationʼ…” – Sergio Panunzio, 1937, Anno XV

“it follows the formal aspects of the [Italian] Fascist dictatorship. Indeed, anyone who reads Adolf Hitlerʼs book Mein Kampf, sees that his first ideas on the movement follow Mussoliniʼs ideas, already in action in Italy in the first months of ʼ19 after the armistice....”

“Hitlerʼs National Socialist dictatorship in Germany does not constitute an original type of revolutionary dictatorship, but it is undoubtedly another typical revolutionary dictatorship; insofar as, by coming after the [Italian] Fascist dictatorship, ...”

On this day in 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte passed away. “His name alone remains, his prodigious Name, and when it is pronounced by the poorest of all children, it is enough to make a great man blush, no matter whom. Napoleon is the Face of God in darkness.”

On this day in 1493, Pope Alexander VI issued his “inter caetera” bull handing King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile a generouos gift of a big chunk of the Americas.

Many Ungrateful Beggar diary entries include anecdotes & memories of their friendship, of his early days after first arrival in Paris, during the Chat Noir days, before & after The Desparate Man was published, DʼAurevilly's death & the struggle to get a cross erected on his grave

On this day in 1889 died Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, friend, fellow Catholic, & long supporter of & believer in Léon Bloy. DʼAurevilly wrote the preface to _The Revealer of the Globe_. _On Huysmansʼ Tomb_ contains in appendix DʼAurevilly famous article on Huysmans' À Rebours.

On this day, in 1719, was born Jacques Rochette de la Morlière, author of _Ecclesiastical Laurels: or Abbot de T***’s Campaigns with the Triumph of the Nuns, &c._ The basic plot of this libertine story: a commendatory abbot wages war on the field of love & ultimately conquers.

On this day in 1909, Joan of Arc was beatified by Pope Pius X. La Pucelle has never given up on France. At least that is the premise in _Joan of Arc and Germany_ by Léon Bloy published in 1915, during The Great War.

On this day in 1944, Giovanni Gentile, Neo-Hegelian or Actualist, Italian Nationalist Philosopher--the "Philosopher of Fascism"--died. He was gunned down by Communist partisans. Nobody remembers the names of the partisans, only their act, but Gentile's memory and works live on.

@LarsLarsonShow They should not be REQUIRED to teach it, but they should be ALLOWED to, if appropriate. They SHOULD make every student stand up in home room (assuming they have home rooms anymore) & PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE to the FLAG, all students respectfully participating.

Should public schools be required to teach passages from the Bible?

In AD 1347 today, proto-Protestant English Franciscan friar, William of Ockham passed away, in Bavaria, under papal excommunication. The Church of England hasn't completely lost its mind, it continues to commemorate this native English scholar's death. But for how long?

On this day, in 1844, Paul Verlaine, the "Prince of Poets" was born. "The noisy cabarets, the dirty sidewalks, The plane trees stripped of leaves in a dark atmosphere, The omnibus, a hurricane of old iron and muck, Which squeals, poorly resting on its four wheels..."

On this day in 1785, *Louis XVII*, the youngest son of King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette, was born. He became Dauphin in 1789 at the death of his older brother, and *King of France* when his father was executed in 1793. For more on his tortured life, see

“the Fascist State implements a ʻcentralizedʼ and ʻauthoritarianʼ democracy: where the two terms of apparent antithesis – according to the old, post-absolutist conception of the dualism [between] the people and an absolute King – are unified in a living whole.” -- Sergio Panunzio

“There is no antithesis: the Fascist State, precisely because popular and of a quasi direct regime, is not and cannot be parliamentary anymore, but governmental. The highest political and juridical wisdom on the matter rests in the formula by Mussolini that...”

“It may seem a contradiction to assert that the Fascist State is governmental, dictatorial in a broad sense, authoritarian, centralized... hierarchical, when, as said earlier, it is a State of the great masses, indeed a typically popular State, of quasi direct democracy...”
