hitler revered mussolini. hitler said mussolini is the last of the seas are so if you look for fascism at the beginning at its point of origin you have to look at mussolini. let's go you are saying that fascism is a left-wing political cause. >> guest: fascism was recognized to be left-wing not only by the fascist but the idea of fascism and this is all at the time. later there was a revision as the cayman in which progressive writers and historians redefine fascism and tried to move it into the right-wing column but mussolini was the most famous marxist and italy. was the leader of the italian socialist party. he was the editor of his magazine and is fascism grew out of socialism. essentially mussolini said the prophecies of marks are not coming through, why and how does that exploration fascism grew out of marxism. so this is, i'm not saying anything that controversial. this is actual history. in germany, and italy, and spain and england all of them came from the left. they were from the labour party in engl

you can really see that influence he had as a reverent and how later. ralph waldo emerson was born in 1803 in boston. he is a local boy. he spent his life in the city but for a brief time he came to the old manse when he was around 12. he came to visit the property throughout his life and again whein 1834. when he and his mother came for a visit, the reverend ezra ripley lived here, he was becoming elderly so they helped care for him for a growth -- brief time. emerson, even though he was born a city boy, conquered was a home for him. 1834, he comes to the old manse and puts himself in the upstairs study which was also a bedroom. that is where he wrote the first draft of "nature." he came briefly for a nine-month period. it overlapped with ezra. this really early vision of continued for people who live and work here, including emerson, who sat on a chair like this one. the original of the emerson chair is in the concord museum. and the northseum bennet street school came together to reproduce the emerson chair. the visitors could sit in the chair where

the question is, do you revere him? him up in the town square for children to see and to recognize as a hero. so that's just inaccurate no. one is trying to erase history. the question is in this country are we prepared to face that these people were not heroes, that they were traitors, this that he led us into some of the darkest days in our history. what should be lichting up those people who stitched us together, those people who sacrificed to make us one nation. those other individuals they can be in the history books just like they are in germany. you don't see monuments to hitler in germany. they learn about their history but don't revere in the public space those people who represent their darkest days. >> on her point, i don't think this was about statutes at all. i think it was an excuse, just like the idea of free speech to have rally as a platform. that is absolutely snotty bout a statue. >> dickerson: we'll have to end it from thanks to all of you it from thanks to all of you we'll be right back with our pol

there is some truth to that but the problem is they revere and are taught a false history of the statuesean. the best way to do that is go to a museum, you can have an instructor say this is robert e. lee. here's his history. this is what has been said and written about him, rather than having a whole group of racist people revere a figure and a history of a figure that's not necessarily true. >> a perfect point here is this is a local issue. i grew up in the south. i view historical issues much differently than those in the north. growing up in atlanta, i'm very familiar with the racial issue and the slaves and that part of our history. but it is a part of our history and there needs to be a way we can preserve our history without hurting people or without people feeling uncomfortable. i saw you raise the confederate flag at the beginning of the show. now we understand how that is harmful to people and hurtful to people and we need to take that into consideration. but at the same time this is not something for the president to do a full swoop across the board. >> let me give you -- this
