You obviously didn’t ready “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg. I don’t especially like Goldberg, but he did a good job of explaining how US Democrats aligned with what was basically Fascism, starting with Woodrow Wilson and continuing to Huey Long and FDR and beyond. I consider the US a far-left Fascist country and I think it has been that for 100 years.

NOTE: The Left fights the Left all the time. FDR helped Stalin and fought Hitler. Stuff happens. All of them were far-left nationalists.

I bet he didn’t read “Mary Had a Little Lamb” either. “Liberal Fascism” and the even stupider “Islamofascism” are just a way to drag Steven Spielberg fans into new age battles.

Of course not. I leave the pop-history that Jonah cranks out to silly people who gobble up his buffoonery. I do have to give Jonah credit for knowing his audience.

An actual scholar in the history of fascism as opposed to Jonah is Paul Gottfried.
