FASCISM’S LEGACY: LIBERALISM

By Daniel Pipes

Liberal fascism sounds like an oxymoron – or a term for conservatives to insult liberals. Actually, it was coined by a socialist writer, none other than the respected and influential left-winger H.G. Wells, who in 1931 called on fellow progressives to become “liberal fascists” and “enlightened Nazis.” Really.

His words, indeed, fit a much larger pattern of fusing socialism with fascism: Mussolini was a leading socialist figure who, during World War I, turned away from internationalism in favor of Italian nationalism and called the blend Fascism. Likewise, Hitler headed the National Socialist German Workers Party.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH OUR GOVERNMENT?

Yeah it’s a very common, stupid, open ended question.  One you might hear at the local pool hall over a Miller High Life, or at the grocery store with your wife pretending to listen, while you check out the hard body in the produce section squeezing last weeks tomato’s.

But that’s not why we are here today, right now, right here.

My question is simple and probably has no answer, but since when does that stop me?.

Why is it that we can do this and figure this out.  But we can’t seem to get this right or this on time?

Just wondering…
