Genoa (was Re: Who provokes whom?

It's a simple question: Where is fascism alive, even of not
particularly well, in Europe? Is it alive in any meaningful,
substantial way in Italy?  The discussion is about Italy.
The protesters say that the Police in Italy are using
Fascist slogans or taunts. From this it does not follow that
Fascism is alive in Italy and the the current government
should be compared with Mussolini's government. So my
question is a simple one. We have protests on Italy. We have
police allegedly taunting protesters by invoking the name
Mussolini. We have had violence on both sides. A protester
was killed by police. But where does Fascism come into this?
It's alive where? Not in the Italian government, right?
Where?
