I agree with that. They are somewhat similarly crude, have a similar disdain for constitutionality, a similar tendency to populism.
The main difference I would see is that Berlusconi actually owns his friendly media, and that he is way, way smarter.
But a thread opened by an Austrian apparently is bound to turn to Hitler and Nazis.
