Message: One of the stranger aspects of contemporary American “mainstream conservatism” is the obsession with “fascism,” a political philosophy one might have supposed was safely buried under the rubble of 1945 Europe. Neocons have, indeed, used "anti-fascism" to justify all manner of things. On his new "Liberal Fascism" blog, Jonah Goldberg has argued, “conservative dogma is the great bulwark against fascism or fascistic policies in part because it breaks the historic linkage between activist foreign policies abroad and totalitarian impulses at home.” In other words, invading foreign countries at will is now okay and definitely not “fascist”—as long as you still want to repeal the “death tax.” Goldberg and all the other budding “anti-fascists” on the right would do well to remember that Hitler is consigned to infamy not because of the Autobahn but because of his own “activist foreign policy,” http://www.takimag.com/1160/
