I didn't bother to read your post, that one token paragraph just wasn't enough to qualify as "formatted".  However, to answer your question:  all fascists are liberals, but not all liberals are fascists.

It's really ironic that the very definition of the word "liberal" doesn't even fit the Left. David Horowitz doesn't even call them "liberal". The word should be an antonym for "fascist", but the reality is much more as you described.

Leftists ("Liberals") want anything but liberty for those outside their exclusive club. Conformity of thought and action is stridently demanded. Tight control of the speech, thoughts and activities of others is their recurring dream.

Where Hitler is given as an example of extreme right-wing thinking, and current Leftists are extreme left-wing thinking, I'm more and more convinced that they are really in the same place on the spectrum. This place on the spectrum is "I want to have control over others so they will do, think and say what I agree with." The spectrum, then, is circular, not linear.
