As an aside, I find it dead interesting how so many Italian Futurists had a prediliction towards an idealogy of Italian fascism (the re-statement of the Mezzogiorno, and so forth)...I like Marinetti's ideas in general, but can;t help but think that he was very much out of his depth when it came to politics...

I am thinking about the introduction of certain social structures that came about in Italy with the Fascists, like the pensions scheme , which didn't exist before. I abhor the ideals and the partial racism that is inherent to both the fascists and the nazis, and the consequent atrocities that happened in their wake, but I can still recognise the little good that they did for the working classes' sake.
