Liberalism is also concerned with race and ethnicity. It is all about exaltation of all other races and genders over one(white males).
Liberals don't care about race per se. They care about victimhood. Liberalism identifies obsessively with whoever they think is the "underdog". Hence the support for all of the supposedly "oppressed" sections of society(women, minorities, gays etc...). Race only matters as a method of defining victimhood.

Liberalism and fascism *are* similar, but fundamentally comparing the two is an apples and oranges analogy.

Oh contrare, my FRiend. I work in an organization where the color of one's skin enhances your chances for promotion and plum positions. It's no longer about "victims." Quite a few of the "women and minorities" being advanced are being advanced b/c they are "women and minorities", not "victims."

Liberals (modern sense) tend to be socialists. The original Italian and German fascists *were* socialists by every meaningful measure. So liberals and fascists have a lot in common.

Your problem is that you don’t even recognize that the Nazis were socialists, despite the fact that they called themselves socialists and were democratically elected on a socialist platform. So you are in denial of basic reality. Discussions with people like you are very unlikely to be fruitful.

Goldberg’s main thesis is that fascism is a Leftist ideology, and he documents that thesis abundantly and overwhelmingly. The reason fascism is considered “right wing” is because good ol’ Uncle Joe Stalin started that myth to help discredit the fascists. We don’t need to be burdened any longer with Stalinist myths.
