I'd say that what you have in Sweden is Social Democracy. A toned-down version of capitalism. Note that Social Democracy isn't an "-ism." 🙂

Would it have made any difference if De Canio had announced himself to be a Socialist? I don't think anybody would have taken much notice. But if Fascism had Hitler and Mussolini, Socialism had Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Pol Pot. All political "-isms" end up in terror and mass murder, if given their head.

Bloody hell, Portly, you've turned into Isaiah fecking Berlin!!!
 
I'm most amused by the fact as Swindon manager his fascist leanings were never even mentioned. He becomes manager of Sunderland and suddenly the sky's falling in. Agenda-setting media twats.

What if he'd had the same political views as a certain knight of the realm who manages a certain premiership club?

Apparently there is a difference in the exposure Sunderland gets and the exposure Swindon gets.

Sweden is historically a socialist country and we've had a couple of socialist almost communist leaders like Olof Palme, Hjalmar Branting etc. Didn't lead to mass murders and terror.

Ahh, I'm not that up on my Swedish politics.
 
The guy in my avatar had a great approach on how to deal with fascists - "acquaint their heads with the pavement!"
 
I have no issue with Paolo Di Canio loosely translated as Paolo The Cunt. He was an ace footballer and I enjoyed how he almost always tormented the Scum. His political leanings hold no sway with me or on the football field.

Whether he can do the job at Sunderland is something altogether different. I suspect that he'll keep them up. Neil Warnock just got some serious competition in the dislike stakes if the forum comments are anything to go by.
 
I haven't seen one article discuss what he's supposed to bring to the table

Is the owner hoping his anger and all round nuttiness might scare the team into a few results?

Yeah that's what i'm not getting either. I'm kinda hoping he does well to shut the fuckers up.

here's the lyric:

All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway

I'm the all night drug prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in The Lying Rag
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just oh looking for fun

Can't remember what the hell I used to sing for that bit but it was not that !
 
English media is correct.

They are 100% correct that Di Canio is a hardcore right-wing racist nutjob...

Just like they were 100% correct about people coming back in coffins from the hardcore right-wing racists nutjob countries that hosted Euro 2012.

Haven't you said that you are a 'fascist' in the past?
