Entry: Springtime for Fascism Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/springtime_for_fascism#18996 Post contents: I have mixed feelings about Mr. Goldberg and his book. I feel he was onto something, but wasted it because he couldn't overcome his political partisan tendencies. No doubt some of the progressives of the 1930's and 40's were googly-eyed over Mussolini, but the bulk of the Left looked more toward Moscow than Rome. As for contemporary manifestations of "fascism," I think it is far more evident in the Right than the Left. While many liberals and leftists have been speaking up about the lapse of civil liberties and unchecked interventionist foreign policy, it is the "conservatives" that have been the loudest in demanding that our civil liberties be diminished and every nasty dictator be overthrown in the name of fighting "terrorism." There in lays the problem for Jonah, he has chosen to ignore the fascistic rot going on in his own movement (including his own magazine). Honestly, I would really like Jonah to explain what is the difference between the foreign policy of Woodrow Wilson and George W. Bush. Either way, Jonah should be remained that war is the health of the state, whether that war is concocted by Wilson-types or Jonah's neocon fellow travelers. Sent at: 2008 11 23
