23: Fiume 1919 - "The Gang Invents Fascism" (teaser)

TENE pod welcomes Kemal back to narrate some truly crazy shit that went down in the port town of Fiume, also known as Rijeka in today's Croatia, a little more than a century ago. Watch the fundaments of fascism flower from the cocaine-addled brain of celebrated war hero, poet, and daredevil, Gabriele D'Annunzio! Marvel at the sense-defying stunts of his nudist right-hand man and pig-thieving air pirate, Guido Keller! Weep at the tragic tale of shotgun-riding futurist donkey, Camellino! Somewhere between Porco Rosso and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the story of the Italian Regency of Carnaro and its flamboyant Comandante is not one to miss! Opening song: "Alba Separa Dalla Luce L'Ombra" written by Gabriele D'Annunzio, composed by Paolo Tosti, and sung by Enrico Caruso. English translation, "Day Man, (uwaa-aahhh) Master of the Night Man". This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that. Something like that... Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes!
