I saw a post on NRO's 'The Corner' about the myth of the general strike, and curiousity coupled with google brought me to this piece. Seeing as I always find it to be well and good to add to post articles that reinforce how fascism is leftist in nature...

Interesting, tho' I'm still not quite sure what Fascism was. However, several things are clear -- it was socialist, it was nationalist, and it was in no sense conservative.

[Cicero]

Very interesting read.

The only point I would differ on is that Ezra Pound was not declared crazy because he supported Mussolini. He was captured by allied troops and put in a cage, and it was the friends and admirers of his accomplishments as a poet and critic who invented the story that he was crazy to preserve his life.

He was locked up in St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington for years, where he wrote the later Cantos. The alternative would have been to be tried and executed as a traitor.

The Pisan Cantos describe his experience of being locked up in the cage, out in the hot sun. Unfortunately they don't seem to be on-line--probably they're still under copyright.

Once again proving that politics and political affiliation never falls into the neat Right/Left categories that we would often like it to.

Great, great article. Thanks.

The vast, silent Euro majority was captured by the evil twins of communism and fascism in the 1920s

They still are, and their Fourth Reich is a big threat to us and to our way of life.

A fascist is someone who believes in a socialist economic policy, a totalitarian social policy, and an interventionist foriegn policy. Basically, no better than today's Dim party.

Fascists did with their eyes open what Communists did with their eyes shut.

Excellent read.

Georges Sorel the Fascist with Marxist beliefs. Schwartz György George likely call himself George Soros in the honor of Georges Sorel. Sorelianism had a strong understanding of National myth where he didn’t believe in science. State-sponsored propaganda utilizing myth was what drove the people.
