Ep. 33
The word ‘fascist’ gets thrown around like a political hand grenade, but what does it actually mean? We’re starting our new series by going back to the source. Before there were social media gurus and personal brands, one man perfected the art of turning national rage into absolute power. Meet Benito Mussolini: the journalist, the socialist, the bare-chested skier, and the original influencer who wrote the playbook for 20th-century dictatorship. Join The Overlap as we dissect how he used a cocktail of fear, grievance, and an army of black-shirted thugs to bluff his way to the top and build the world’s first fascist state.
