He doesn't come across as the sharpest tool in the shed. He uses the term "fascism" a lot. It would be interesting to see how he defines that word. Here's how Merriam-Webster Online does it (empasis added by me):
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
I would say it's "highly ironic"?

I find that a simplistic definition. A critical defining aspect that differentiates Communism from Fascism and Capitalism is this:
- In communism the state owns and controls all the means of production (i.e. business and commerce).
- In fascism private individuals own the means of production BUT the state controls it
- In Capitalism private individuals own the means of production and control them
Communists and Fascists both end up as dictatorships so that's not the defining difference. Also the nationalistic stuff is a red herring because the Soviets were highly nationalistic (i.e patriotic) and frankly so was the USA back before liberals split it. The true difference between the three systems is who controls the economic engines.
And lefties want to allow private individuals to own businesses but have the state control them through onerous regulations. Fascism.
