Looks like I'm breaking this to the English-speaking world: I am unable to find any subtitled versions and it seems only Italians know about this. Take solace, though. The comedy in Fascists On Mars is quite physical and the facial expressions communicate much of what is going on. This is, afterall, Il Duce and a bunch of his riff raff imposing their wills on Mars.
It is fitting that Italians were the ones who made this. After Mussolini was shot, they made sure to hang him upside down by his toes with meat hooks. So why not mock him even further in death? It sounds like a delightful proposition to my Jewish mother.
I believe there are five more episodes of Fascists On Mars. As was the case with the Soviet Winnie the Pooh, if anyone knows where I can find a subtitled version, let me know and I will replace this with a subtitled version. I believe, very strongly, that this comedy has universal appeal.
