Long but excellent discussion. Why fascism (and other collectivist systems) MUST fail, and when they fail tend to turn on scapegoats. Both are built into the system.

Communism has killed more, but what’s a few million corpses among totalitarians?

Very good.

"The world is sick of parliamentary politics"

Health Care reform will be passed. They will use the nuclear option and they will explain that the world is sick of legislative stonewalling.

By definition, all fascists are left wing. It is not too much of an oversimplification to say that fascists are but right wing communists. They are both socialists who believe in totalitarian government. Stalin pulled off a brilliant tactic in the 1930’s after his troubles with Communism’s Trotskyite wing and the battles that the Reds were having with their National Socialist cousins in Germany. He simply declared that anyone on the right OR left who was opposed to the Moscow line was a fascist. The useful idiots and liberal fellow travelers of the time picked this propaganda line up and ran with it. It is amazing as to how long the intellectual half life of this lie has been.

At every opportunity we MUST take the time to correct this falsehood by showing our fellows as to how big govt makes totalitarianism MORE likely, since the small constitutional government advocated by conservatives is incompatible with the likelihood of creating a fascist state.
