When fascism first came about it was regarded as “left”.

Mussolini of course had been a socialist. And “Nazi” has “socialist” in the damn name!

” Government ownership of the means of production means that politicians also own the consequences of their policies, and have to face responsibility when those consequences are disastrous — something that Barack Obama avoids like the plague.

Thus the Obama administration can arbitrarily force insurance companies to cover the children of their customers until the children are 26 years old. Obviously, this creates favorable publicity for President Obama. But if this and other government edicts cause insurance premiums to rise, then that is something that can be blamed on the “greed” of the insurance companies. “

Great job by Tom Sowell. Why OWN the means of production, when you can CONTROL it, and when things go awy, blame the opposition?
