Fascism is Yet to be Defeated

Everyone has a nickname - at least the real Monculi all have nicknames, I don't know about the people in Monculi di Sotto.

Testa Gloriosa, who is 82, was quite desperate when he ran into Mr HG in the grocer's. "I have given my life to the Party (the Communist Party of Italy, Ed.), and we haven't a single representative in the Chamber of Deputies or the Senate. I used to be asked to call on people after dark, so others would not know who were Party supporters. I fought with the partisans. We are wholly unrepresented in our own country's Parliament." His whole face was anguished, jaw trembling as he clutched Mr HG's arm and appealed to him to Do Something.

There is nothing to be done. And for the brave and decent people who literally risked their lives to overthrow Fascism, I weep.
