Here is the fate of your heroI was reading about Benito Mussolinia couple weeks back as the average guy does and his views on race was interesting. I think he was pushed to extremism by hitler.
In an interview conducted in 1932 at the Palazzo di Venezia in Rome, he said "Race? It is a feeling, not a reality: ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today".
Italian fascism emphasised the belief that race was bound by spiritual and cultural foundations and it divided people into a racial hierarchy which was based on spiritual and cultural factors. While Italian fascism based its conception of race on spiritual and cultural factors, Mussolini explicitly rejected the belief that biologically "pure" races were still considered a relevant factor in racial classifications.
However the humiliating war with Ethiopia and hitlers influence made his beliefs turn darker.
I would suspect the same from hitler i think your both correct and hitler with time grew more racist.
He is responsible for countless atrocities in Somalia. May he and Hitler rot in piss.
