"Larisa Alexandrovna: Springtime for Hitler "

[madrchsod]

"Either Jonah Goldberg is putting on a new production of the Producers or his latest book is a cry for help from a fractured and disoriented mind....

Titled... wait for it... "Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning", it is a retelling of history through the lens of propaganda.

Let me do Goldberg and his publisher a favor by providing the fact checking they clearly failed to do prior to the publication of this nonsense. Let us go directly to the source, Mussolini himself, to get a good sense of just what fascism is...."

2. Liberal Fascism is a non squirter (sequitur)

...since fascism means: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition, where the primary guiding principle is that the state or nation is the highest priority, rather than personal or individual freedoms.

...whereas liberalism means: A broad array of related doctrines, ideologies, philosophical views, and political traditions which hold that individual liberty is the primary political value with a political orientation that favors progress and reform and an economic theory advocating free competition and a self-regulating market and the gold standard.

To suggest there could be anything liberal about fascism shows a complete ignorance of both concepts and a total distortion in the true meaning of either.

Liberalism used in any context always infers an ideology that rejects authoritarian government and defends freedom of speech, association, and religion as well as the right to own property. Modern liberalism evolved during the ENLIGHTENMENT Period and became the dominant political idea of the nineteenth century receiving its philosophical inspiration from the dialecticalism of Immanuel Kant and religious thought from Friedrich Schleirmacher, Rudolph Bultmann and Paul Tillich.

Fascism came out of the maniacal rantings of a Italian street thug Benito Mussolini and a neo-Hegelian philosopher
Giovanni Gentile.

Is there any further reason to promote fascism as anything other than the demented random ideas emanating from an insane mind?
