Goldberg's book on "Liberal Facism" is a good historical primer.

Facism in Musolinni's initial effort after he left the international communist movement and adopted a "Nationalistic" brand of socialism and it was praised by many politicians here, in Britian, and in Europe.

The Third Way was being looked for then because the socialists knew they could sell or succeed with international stateless communism and because the groups in power wanted a third way to stave off revolutions.

with the nationalization of Banks, Major Manufacturing and the Healthcare system, he will have got us to the definition of a fascist state and economy in a little less than a year.

I think I will change my tag line to the following for a while.

One of the slides states that the strongman rallies the majority in common cause against a minority. This helps to give legitimacy and foster comraderie under the dictator.

But it occurs to me why it's always the Jews. Because they have a strong sense of group identity. This manifests itself religiously and professionally.

It is more the latter than the former now but still enough to give a socialist dictator fits because socialists want uniformity of identity and loyalty to their aims.

This way the dictator achieves two objective in one stroke.

John Adams, quotes about Liberty:
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have... a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean the characters and conduct of their rulers.

Woodrow Wilson, quotes about Liberty:
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.

Samuel Adams, quotes about Liberty:
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.

Justice William O. Douglas, quotes about Liberty:
The privacy and dignity of our citizens [are] being whittled away by sometimes imperceptible steps. Taken individually, each step may be of little consequence. But when viewed as a whole, there begins to emerge a society quite unlike any we have seen — a society in which government may intrude into the secret regions of a [person’s] life.

The America we grew up in is already lost. It’s a damned shame.
