Just sharing fun facts you know about Italy or are these points relevant to your point?

Before you make accusations you should read the relevant posts. This was my earlier post that the one in question was a follow up to:
"People keep calling this Italian Journalist a socialist but you have to be careful when trying to use Italian political terms with our definitions of the term. When I lived in Florence, the Communist party was in charge in Tuscany. Political posters with the Hammer and Sickle were everywhere. However, the communist party had moved way to the right since Stalin’s time. They were pro NATO, anti-Russian and pro-free enterprise. What made them different from the conservative parties was that they were for the welfare state. The socialists were also not real socialists. There were real socialist and communist parties but they were called the people's parties and weird names like that."
I stand by every word of that statement, and I do know what I am talking about (well maybe not, but clearly more than you).
