I highly recommend /u/BadgerKomodo reads this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
In great detail it explains how leftist ideologies feed a cycle of empowering governments to seize rights, stifle political speech, eliminate the ability for it's people to defend itself and subsequently the slow descent into totalitarian nightmares.
With countless real world examples of leftist ideologies leading to totalitarian dictatorships the book is well received by critics.
Republicans have been pushing the idea that Nazi’s we’re liberals for over a decade now. https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
The craziest part isn’t even that this book got written. It’s that the right wing in America today shuns the author for not supporting Trump enough. Its crazy how far removed they’ve become from reality, even in just the last decade.
It's good that people are finally getting to the point where we are starting to apply consequences to what people say. This has been something that has been going on for far too long already. We already know that it is not ok to yell "Fire" in a crowded theatre and we all need to start applying to in a wider context.
You're forgetting about this masterpiece.
The last two are part of the Neo-progressive agenda.
Mussolini was influenced by the American progressive movement (and the admiration became reciprocal during the interwar period).
This position only changed during WW2.
This is a good read; https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
So the guy wrote this book.
>In the book, Goldberg argues that both social liberalism and fascism descended from progressivism.
And he has the gall to write the following,
>Now, I know enough about fascist theory to provide all of the caveats you can think of and even some you probably can’t. Those academic definitions I mentioned above have their uses, but the truth is that people overthink fascism.
His definition of "fascism"
>But there is something we can call “generic fascism.” It’s undemocratic. It elevates struggle, strength, and fighting over argument and ideas. It glorifies martial rhetoric as the language of a deeper truth and a greater source of meaning. It splits the world into us and them, and claims a kind of gnostic insight into the true spirit of the authentic people. This is why it glorifies in mass protests (much like many other revolutionary movements) and the spectacle of intimidating throngs. It has contempt for bourgeois morality and constitutional and democratic norms – particularly when they are obstacles to the pursuit of power. Sometimes it takes traditional religion and reframes it as political ratification of its goals. It glorifies will, specifically the will to do what the weak and unmasculine defenders of democracy are unwilling to do. It’s conspiratorial, believing that powerful forces are driven by sinister ambitions to keep the authentic and deserving people down and divided. If your response to all of this is that this describes a lot of left-wing movements around the world and throughout history, my response is, “You’re right.” But also: “So what?”
Suffice to say, I don't think he's ever written anything worth reading.
Sit back and watch the show.
Just the memetic / disinformation campaign can fuck a country hard.
Just look at the United States, you have 20% of the people notionally at war and keen to promote the idea of fighting "liberals" and "antifa", or trying , like Mr. Jonah Goldberg to frame fascism as a liberal phenomenon and a logical consequence of what happens when you offer up no-smoking bans and make people exercise good hygiene or eat right.
Just because someone publishes something doesnt mean it's true, therefore verifiability on previously published information is still subjective. Plenty of published books have been written on how liberals are closely related to nazis and could be linked on that page like:
Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change https://www.amazon.com/dp/0767917189/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uFDHDbZ6KJ4F4
It's something that can be backed up, as I've shown here liberal policies are related to that of nazi Germany.
And I mean if you're going to trust some liberal with a gender studies degree, over a quote directly from Hitler, then theres really no arguing here. You're wrong.
Entire books have been written on what fascism is. It's funny that you think a google'd definition in one line sums it up. If you don't think the left has fascists, I suggest reading one of those many books
>Jonah Goldberg
Hi. I'd like to return this and get back my unbrainwashed dad in return. He's just too much of a bother claiming that cops are a persecuted minority and ranting unironically about the MSM these days. It's not very thoughtful.
I laughed out loud when Dan, complained about demonization of people rather than ideas and ranted against liberals who label people "Nazis" then, without even the barest hint of irony, quoted Jonah Goldberg. Dan's been losing me for a while, but when he then mentioned that Jonah Goldberg couldn't have fun with political debates because people were too quick to label people as Nazis, it was too much. I'm totally cool with him letting the show die at this point. He jumped the shark.
Remember when they call someone a Nazi or a fascist, throw this at them.
https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term “National socialism”). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities—where campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist.
Do these striking parallels mean that today’s liberals are genocidal maniacs, intent on conquering the world and imposing a new racial order? Not at all. Yet it is hard to deny that modern progressivism and classical fascism shared the same intellectual roots. We often forget, for example, that Mussolini and Hitler had many admirers in the United States. W.E.B. Du Bois was inspired by Hitler's Germany, and Irving Berlin praised Mussolini in song. Many fascist tenets were espoused by American progressives like John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR incorporated fascist policies in the New Deal.
>I'm so sick of you liberals calling conservatives nazis. It belittles the word and the terrible things they did. They literally rounded people up and killed them.
https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
But this? That's okay, right?
>Oh boohoo Trump wants to investigate voter fraud in California. Close enough
Oh noes, our churches are gonna be investigated for tax fraud! Nazis, religious oppression! Christians will be rounded up! Yikes, our 501s are being investigated! Fascists!
Again, perfectly okay.
>So you don't agree with the guy that's fine but comparing every little tiny thing you disagree with as Nazism is just stupid.
Ever watch Glenn Beck?
I used to be similarly deluded on this issue. As a knee jerk progressive Democrat I blinded accepted the attacks on Jonah Goldberg and his horrible book, liberal fascism (even though I have come to accept his main thesis, that National Socialism was socialist, it's still a nasty little book).
>Being so open minded, I'm sure you're willing to examine contravening positions; try reading "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg (http://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189[1] ). From the Amazon review:
If you've read and understood the book, then please present the arguments the author used for his propositon so they can be examined.

People also make the argument that socialists are Nazi's. I think the book was Liberal Fascism.

Are they? I strongly encourage you to read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189 I would be very interested in discussing it with you. I can find where you can read it online for free if you are interested.
And if you want to make the assertion that "fascists" or anyone else is using political violence and censorship to the degree that the political left is doing - I mean feel free to provide your evidence, because I can provide tons of evidence for the reverse.

Jonah Goldberg did it first.
Jonah Goldberg even wrote a book about it, so it MUST be true!
Also this is a good read about fascism in the left: https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
It will take some reading on your part. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0767917189/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_6NGP1NHEYTTFCZR45BK0
Check out a book called Liberal Fascism while you are at it, very interesting read that dives into this.
https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
What type of evidence would you like to see of the word ‘fascist’ being used to describe someone who doesn’t fit the academic description;
“a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy”
“Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party—to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.”

>Jonah Goldberg
first point by point, ignoring your flippant little quip: -yes, leftists were sent to camps, etc, how does that in any way negate anything i said, or solidify your argument? hitler hated socialists but -not all leftists are socialists, but all socialists are leftists. -anarchists can technically align themselves with leftism (contradiction) (look at antifa) but at its core anarchism is extreme right wing because it advocates for a complete lack of government or institutions -the swastika was the logo of the nazi party, who sought to force societal change through collectivism, a basic tenant of leftism, and therefore not a right wing group. (that would be actual anarchists)
furthermore how is nazism NOT left wing? it advocates for the same kind of state controlled economy as socialism, its short for national socialism! hitler detested capitalism, which is as right wing as it gets. Traditionalism, militarism, nationalism, are NOT inherently right-wing.
have you read mein kampf? hitler literally talks about being inspired by RADICAL LEFT WING MOVEMENTS (communists, socialists, etc) and how it shaped his doctrine. he says it himself! how he learned what worked for them (political violence) and learned how to apply it to his own ends. he was inspired to a large degree by the face of fascism: mussolini, a former marxist! inspired by marx, engels, hegel, all leftists
some evidence and reading:
""Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State…. The Fascist conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. —Gentile, Mussolini “A Doctrine of Fascism”" http://www.worldfuturefund.org/wffmaster/Reading/Germany/mussolini.htm
http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200601.txt
https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/417926
basically in short the political spectrum most people use is wrong, it is Totalitarianism (collective) ------- Total Anarchy (individual)
in 20th century europe, fascism was indeed "right wing" compared to communism
This book sounds exactly like what you're looking for.

Honestly, I tend to see things as pretty black/white, good/evil, and think that those who prefer a broader political spectrum and, who also, incidentally, refuse to be labelled on it, are serving to make a simple issue more complex.
If you have the time, this is a great listen and even better read. Goldberg laid all this out in 2008, long before anyone had ever heard of antifa.
>This was a very interesting discussion for me as well, thank you for taking the time to have it.
Thank you. In the interest of completion, I should point out that I have not forgotten the graph you link to: I reject it, or at least as it has been applied to analysis of fascism. After no small amount of consideration, that is.
Now, earlier I urged you to read Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism, and I do so again, but I realize that reading a 500+ page book may not fit into your schedule on a lark. So, instead, let me recommend a lecture Goldberg gave about the time the book came out to the London School of Economics, Liberal Fascism: the uses and abuses of the F-word.
It's about 90 minutes long and includes both his lecture and the Q&A afterwards. It's well worth your time, even if only to convince yourself that you're right and I'm wrong.
Our conversation has prompted me to write a rather longer piece on this matter, I'll be sure to drop you a line and post it to KiA when I do. Have a great day!
Liberal Fascism is a good place to start.

Lol really not a man of your word, said you were tired of engaging, what, 5 replies ago? And it's cute that you fail to see the only fascists around as of late are leftists and liberals attempting to silence opposing views, put an end to the so called "marketplace of ideas" and assaulting people for their political views :)

The fact of the matter is you will not prevent America from becoming great again, you can not stump Trump, and you are exactly the kind of impressionable individual who would be a cuck and a sheep. Not to mention you have literally nothing to support your views except feelings and regurgitated media talking points
Keep on digging that hole Mr. "I've got better things to do". Feel free to denounce your misguided ways at any time, these coats are warm and comfy, your next reply will be met with either factual evidence or feel-good, patriotic spicy memes

Funny, Wikipedia recently changed it within a few months "left wing fascism," which had been enacted in South America. Now it's all under the guise of "fascism." I've seen this change in under a few months, you're telling me it hasn't changed in 10 years?... ha! Ok...

Obviously, but when people are bullied into conformity of what is a "belief" and not subjected to reality, where exactly is that line?
I think libertarian historians have themselves said that some of the largest periods of growth in US government were encouraged by and even led by the business elite: the progressive era, the world war 1 planning economy, the New Deal.
Murray Rothbard and leftist Ronald Radosh wrote about this here: https://mises.org/library/new-history-leviathan
Conservative Jonah Goldberg wrote this: https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
The establishment of the Federal Reserve is a well known example of banking interests agreeing to work together and with the state to cartelize the banking industry.
As per your comment - I don't see why left wing excludes corporations. Corporations don't want a free market as it works to reduce their long term profits via new entrants and competition.
Here's more about how the Progressive Era wasn't "progressive" as most people think: https://www.amazon.com/Illiberal-Reformers-Eugenics-Economics-Progressive/dp/0691175861/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=illiberal+reformers&qid=1622242419&s=books&sr=1-1
I love how the left throws the word "fascist" left and right, yet there are many parallels to today's liberals. I really have to get this book: https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189#
Then you should do some more research: Liberal Fascism >“Fascists,” “Brownshirts,” “jackbooted stormtroopers”—such are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents. Calling someone a fascist is the fastest way to shut them up, defining their views as beyond the political pale. But who are the real fascists in our midst?
>Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics. Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler's National Socialism and Mussolini's Fascism.
>Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term “National socialism”). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs.

>Fascism was an international movement that appeared in different forms in different countries, depending on the vagaries of national culture and temperament. In Germany, fascism appeared as genocidal racist nationalism. In America, it took a “friendlier,” more liberal form. The modern heirs of this “friendly fascist” tradition include the New York Times, the Democratic Party, the Ivy League professoriate, and the liberals of Hollywood. The quintessential Liberal Fascist isn't an SS storm trooper; it is a female grade school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore.
>These assertions may sound strange to modern ears, but that is because we have forgotten what fascism is. In this angry, funny, smart, contentious book, Jonah Goldberg turns our preconceptions inside out and shows us the true meaning of Liberal Fascism
The Progressives were early admirers of the fascists. Why? Because they share similar intellectual roots. It shouldn't be hard to understand how two ideologies that advocate for extensive government involvement in all aspects of society have more in common with each other than an ideology that advocates individual rights and limited government.
This post of yours has confirmed what I believed to be true. You are, in fact, a bigot. Set forth below is the definition of "bigotry":
>obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices : the state of mind of a bigot
I did not define totalitarianism as "leftist" (though, in the American sense, it is), I said the left is totalitarian (and it is). Ever hear of Palmer Luckey or Brendan Eich? Their industry is dominated by the left. The right didn't come up with the concept of intersectionality, the right doesn't seem nearly as interested in taking over and dominating every institution they can get their hands on. The right doesn't demand that everyone agrees with one another, "or else".
For a pretty good, and not too long, primer on this I suggest you borrow this book from your library. Another worthwhile thing to do is to start listening to Dennis Prager's radio show with an open and critical mind.
Also, you should consider whether your own attitude about how much influence you should have over others is good for anyone. https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
It's not anti-intellectualism. If anything politicized labels are anti-intellectualism because they're derived from opinion. Fascism is a loosely defined term that is often associated with the right wing but it really can characterize governments on both sides of the political spectrum.
If you ask google and the average joe the definition of fascism you'll get "an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization."
If you ask Merriam Webster on the other hand you get
1. a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such 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"
2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
If you apply websters definition communism/liberalism can be classified as fascism when the criteria is met. Google's definition reserves the term fascism for right wing.
It's interpretation, not anti-intellectualism.
Also, here's a good read:
https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
Your pretty myopic when it comed to defintions. Your definition of fascist is rooted in its original meaning from over 100 years ago. Word definition changes over time). Here is an update from TheFreeDictionary which I have annotated.
a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls (every liberal wants strict controls on the marketplace)
violent suppression of the opposition (liberals like to take over the streets, riot, burn and loot whenever they don't get their way),
and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. (liberals hate white working people, evidenced by freely using pejorative racist terms like "redneck", hillbilly, "white privilege") along with being pro anti white goverment programs such as Affirmitive Action.
Certainly there are thousands of sites defining Fascism thousands of ways. Keep in mind that I am talking about Liberal Fascism, not Right Wing Fascism. Here is a link to the definition above, and a book called Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg.
Btw, you come across as a 12 year old when you start throwing the word STUPID around.

Liberal fascisme og venstreorienteret fascisme er udtryk der gør sig gældende i dag, det er vel det mest aktuelle form for fascisme i vesten. Mange snakker om den, uanset om det en konspirationsteori eller ej, om 20-30 år er det nok lidt mere materiale omkring det.

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change
This seems to be an interesting read. Here's a link that includes a big chunk of the first chapter that includes the thesis of the author, Jonah Goldberg.
>Instead of standing up to tyranny?
There is no tyranny to speak of with Trump. You've been brainwashed.
>Just step down and make way for another spineless shill to help pave the way? Seems to me she's a patriot.
Bylaws are bylaws. Following them is not optional.
>But hey, party over country right?
Wrong. She chose to run for that position within the party. Thus while holding that position she was required follow the bylaws or have her position vacated.
Lastly, yes, Hillary absolutely is the very definition of a fascist.
Educate yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189
Don't have to. There's a whole book on the topic.
Being so open minded, I'm sure you're willing to examine contravening positions; try reading "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg (http://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189). From the Amazon review:
[Goldberg] offers the following thesis: that the label fascist has its roots in the governing philosophies of Italy's National Fascist Party and Germany's National Socialist (Nazi) Party. He argues that there has been a false duality created between the Soviet Socialists of the USSR and the socialists united under the fascists in Italy and Germany. He argues that the totalitarian impulse, the philosophy of state control of decisions taking priority over individual freedoms, is the core uniting principle behind these movements, and he argues that the ongoing home of such statism is in what has come to be known as the "liberal" politics of the modern progressive movement.

The New Deal and corporatism
>You did, when you said the left are electing people like Nick Fuentes.
When I said "these people" I was referring to antisemites.
>Let's honest. If you're conservative, the alt-right are your fault
The "alt right" is not the fault of conservatives. Richard Spencer is a national socialist. The platform fits more neatly with the Democratic party, except on the issues they find to be most important. They do not want non-white people immigrating to this country, legally or illegally. Racial issues are most important to them. If you're going to be honest, you have to acknowledge what I posted in this paragraph to be true.
>>BTW the Nazis are left wing on many key issues. That is a discussion for another thread. We can all agree that antisemitism is bad, right?
>Nice try, but swing and a miss.
Nope, Nazis were and are left-wing. This is for a different thread. In the meantime, I suggest you obtain this book from your local library. Take the time to educate yourself.
>I'm going to bet we can't, because you no doubt have a different - and incorrect - definition for "anti-semitism", since this whole post is another sad, thinly-veiled pro-Israel shillpiece.
Israel is a wonderful country. Bigots have always hated Jews. If anything, the constant Jew-hatred is strong evidence that God and Satan really do exist. I can't think of a better explanation for it.
Anyways, you should try addressing the points made in the article.
One of the great books to read is Liberal Fascism.
"If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism."--Ronald Reagan
“If you think shrinking government and getting it less involved in your life is a hallmark of tyranny it is only because you are either grotesquely ignorant or because you subscribe to a statist ideology that believes the expansion of the state is the expansion of liberty.” ― Jonah Goldberg
