Progressivism is fascism
Indeed. When first in a German bookstore, I took note of the section on "Nationalsozialismus," properly titled and clearly identified. The post WWII Left has made it a mission to label national socialism as "right wing," though in fact it was socialist.
The party name was clear. National Socialist German Workers' Party. Moreover, what was stated often was that the difference between Marxist socialism and theirs was that they were Aryan socialists.
Additionally their Axis partners were the Italian Fascists, which today's Left also labels as "right-wing," although the founders were all European socialists. This is why through until today the Left works overtime to obscure the reality of what a Left wing moniker is, as opposed to a Right wing moniker. The imagery is false. Both the Progressives, the Fascists and the Socialists work towards ever bigger and more powerful government.
Today's Leftists shriek and rage when this historical fact leaps out to prove, as you so clearly say, "Progressivism is fascism."
