You don't think Mussolini was a great politician?
What about Hitler?

No, apart from the moral perspective, I don't think they were even decent politicians. What I think is that they were good opportunists that handled well the rage of a depressed population. In that context, they knew how to use in their favor the rage of the mob. Hitler obviously capitalized well the Versalles treaty which was very unfair to the germans after losing the WWI, Mussolini was an apprentice of Primo de Rivera a Spanish dictator that he admired (admitted by himself).

Fascism hasn't a clear ideology, basically has some core hate speeches (racism, classism and dictatorial ways in these issues ).

Meloni has claimed that will stop the illegal immigration, denying the entry to ports the ONG's uses to save people crossing the Mediterranean. You could say that this is arguably legit but I'm not so sure about it.

If you think that bad politician means bad person and good politician means good person...
I don't really know what to tell you.

If I had to claim that someone was a good politician among the totalitarian leaders then I'd name Goebbels who was the propaganda minister of Hitler. He innovated in that area and some govs use still his methods.

Meloni in Italy, Le Pen in France, Abascal in Spain, are part of a fascist international in Europe imo. We can discuss it further if you want, you have my respect so I'm open to this debate. Cheers.
