Hey Ballco!!! Benito's actions and political views are identical to those of the WEA, NEA and AFT. What is your complaint? You should praise Benito not libel Benito.
BTW Did you know that FDR, George Meany and LaGuardia felt that municipal unions should be banned.
Sooner or later the highly educated sheep of the town of Westford and vote to do away with municipal unions.

" I am not aware of Benito's position on unions" -MLuther

Here you are Mr. Luther- read up:

Mussolini called new elections for the Italian parliament in 1924. Intimidation and fraud marred the election. Mussolini’s Fascist Party together with a smaller allied party won 66 percent of the vote.

After the election, Mussolini closed opposition newspapers and banned public protest meetings. He declared all political parties illegal except for his own Fascist Party. He outlawed labor unions and strikes. He also established a political police force, the Organization for Vigilance and Repression of Antifascism. A Fascist Grand Council rubber-stamped Mussolini’s decrees and made parliament irrelevant.

Opponents of Mussolini coined the term “totalitarianism” to describe his quest to control not only the political system but also the economy, schools, police, courts, military, and more. Ironically, Mussolini liked this term and began to use it himself to persuade Italians to come together under his leadership for a rebirth of society. "
