He is populist, yes, but his policies on the media and the internet shows he is very much open to criticism and critical thought. He is totally against state control over such issues. And not everybody who disagrees with cowboy "free market" (that term has become outdated when you see the levels of corruption in Italy) economics coupled with dehumanising austerity measures is a fascist you know...
I was not aware he booted out party members for such reasons. Do you have a source? What were the reasons given?
I can understand why you hate him though, since you seem to hate Italians in general.
