The problem we face there is that there has been 65 years of branding Nazism, and thus Fascism, as “right-wing”, and thus Republican, no matter how far from the truth that is.

I’m not saying what you suggest is not worth doing, it’s just that we face an uphill slog due to the way the Left has Orwellianly shaped the battlefield in the arena of public discourse and language. The “Republican = Nazi” Big Lie has been pushed for so long that many believe it, in contravention of all history.

Shifting focus slightly, this is why we must push back when the Left attempts to misuse language and push lies. It’s why Bush’s non-use of the Bully Pulpit was so disheartening and such a disaster for conservatives. He let his and our political enemies define him.

Yah, it’s not an argument for the general public or the masses. You have to get someone’s attention long enough for them to actually learn about fascist economics, overcome the hurdle that modern fascist theory existed incredibly briefly (maybe 20 years) and went underground after that, have them see what is out there and learn from it, and then apply it to our situation today. It’s more a one-on-one thing. So why am I posting about it here? Heck, there are people here that are intellectuals and will learn about it and understand. Others will throw virtual beer cans at my virtual head.
