Entry: Europe's Fascist Future? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/europes_fascist_future#2672 Post contents: Well, Mr. Bruch, political nomenclature is already perverted enough, and “liberal” and “conservative” mean almost the exact opposite of what they once meant. Liberalism, be it in its Whig or libertarian form, both originating in the Exclusion Bill of 1679 and Locke, isn’t fascism or Fascism. I am, of course using "liberal" the way Europeans use it; for Americans, it means "socialism". Nor were fascism or Fascism really economic movements. And don’t get in the habit of Cultural Marxism and call “fascist” anything that you happen not to like. For “fascism” – the broad movement – take a gander at the Wikipedia q.v. “Roger Griffin” and “fascism”, though I myself think that what Griffin calls “fascism”, I’d just call radical/ultra/extremist nationalism. I personally prefer John Lukac’s wishing to keep Fascism as strictly Mussolini’s movement. Naziism was an extremist form of nationalism, where The State was the servant of the <i>Volk</i>. Mussolini’s Fascism was the opposite: Judging that Italian unification failed, ol’ Benito decided that The State would now forge a nation. Fascism in this sense was not a racialist movement, Judeophobic movement, or anti-Christian movement or neo-pagan, and it took Corporatism seriously as an economic model. I have argued elsewhere, that liberal/conservative, left/right are at best obsolete terms. I can think of 15 political ideologies. Brian Mitchell in his book has eight. Sent at: 2008 11 20
