Entry: Springtime for Fascism Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/springtime_for_fascism#18651 Post contents: It is true that the neocons have retained the "fascist" line from their leftist days. However, Goldberg seems to be correct in seeing statism as both a part of modern leftist politics and of fascism. Many conservatives did denounce the New Deal for its resemblances to Italian fascist domestic programs -- state regulation, regimentation, mania for public works, the all-powerful fearless leader, etc. The problem is that the neocons themselves are so invested in the statist program and that they see the problem as one of similarity to Axis governments and nto as one of submission to modernity itself.
