More on fascism

To the democracy girls:
There aren't a lot of things upon which Mussolini and I agree, but I really don't see how periodically consulting the people makes a government more or less evil than one that doesn't.  Mussolini's dictatorship was ugly, but was it by virtue of it being fascist that it was ugly?  Andra leveled the charge of brainwashing, but that's just unfair.  Hitler, for example, was elected by popular vote; isn't that democratic?  In what way was anyone brainwashed?
