> Brexit is an opportunity for fascists.

I'd be curious to hear how exiting the European Union relates to the doctrines of Benito Mussolini.

Good news, Mussolini is dead so there aren't fascists anymore! They entire ethos was strictly and solely related to that specific time and place and is now a historical curiosity only!

Phew, that was a close one!

Again, I asked how the wish of 1/2 of your countrymen to leave the EU relates to 'fascism'. Yes, I was slightly in jest because there are many reasons why one might be sceptical of the EU. One could even compare the EU to pan-European movements of the 1940s like Fascism, but that wouldn't be productive.

I need propositions, not further slander.
