Antisemitic slogans effectively mobilize masses for imperialist destruction

Evidence

Not only the popularisations but Mazzini’s original doctrines themselves were in point of fact extremely vague and devoid of content. Despite his active participation in the Roman Republic of 1849, Mazzini never succeeded, particularly in the crucial years 1860 70, in formulating a clear policy towards the position of the Church and the Papacy, and his slogan “Dio e popolo ” (God and People) provided a political and ideological cover for all sorts of liberal and neo-Catholic sentimentalisms. On an ideological level (and Mazzini’s influence after 1850 was mainly ideological rather than directly political) Mazzinianism represented the degeneration of the romantic patriotic impulse of the Risorgimento, co-incidental with the rise of “materialistic” positivism. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2766 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
