and Hayek's Road to Serfdom.
Leftists are totalitarian collectivists, which is a redundancy in and of itself. Fascism is totalitarian collectivism, just a different side of the same coin as communism. It's a leftist myth that fascism is "far right". Nazis were fascists and socialists. They had one element that the left does not have - a value for tradition and nation. Not all fascists are Nazis.
Thanks - you said quite a bit in few words. I've read a bit on communism/marxism over the years, but not much on fascism. I'll have to do some more reading.
