I'm not a fan of communism, but anticommunism is trash.

The term makes no sense in the Year of Our Lord 2015: the Soviet Union has been dead and buried for a quarter of a century and so there is no Communism to be opposed to.

In fairness, many Italian leftists are still obsessed with antifascism (which is obviously far less morally objectionable than anticommunism, but also even less historically relevant).

FN, XA, Jobbik are all quite close to their borders, while I don't think the Italian and French  communist parties or the KkE are much of a deal for them
And internationally, there's just a handle of countries which are still under the "communist", and apart from China (which is a technocratic dictatorship more than any definition of Marxism I can think of), they aren't very important to Italy at all

I wouldn't call any of these parties fascist though, especially not in the sense in which Italians conceive it, which is actually mostly influenced by politics in the Cold War years (in the sense that antifascism was for Communists roughly what anticommunism was for Christian Democrats and their satellites).

Oooooh, boy... It says something when even SWE disagrees with TNF's latest drivel. His slow descent into insanity has really been sad to witness, but at least one can hope that this is his rock bottom.
