"Liberal Fascism" -- Jonah Goldberg, Doubleday 2007         


Author: Jerry Kraus
Date: May 13, 2008 09:46

The cover of this book says it all: a smiley face with a Hitler
mustache sketched on it. That is the level it is at. It has no
content, other than a series of attempts to somehow associate the
concept of "liberty" with the concept of "repression". They are, of
course, opposites.

Currently, American liberals favor more government control over the
economy because they feel economic oppression by corporations and the
rich -- excessive concentration of wealth in the hands of the few --
is limiting most people's freedom and opportunity. So, propagandists
like Mr. Goldberg feel compelled to try to attack all manifestations
of governmental authority in any form as "statism". Like, we're all
better off without a government. So, vague, rather half-hearted
attempts are made to associate Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Kennedy and
Hitler. All carefully hedged. Oh, also "organic foods"! Yes, it's
just one step from organic foods to the gas chambers.

Oh, not at all. Mr. Goldberg is welcome to babble all he wishes.
Helps to prove the point that he's talking nonsense.

Mind you, we're not all that thrilled with corporate control over the
media. Because we believe in free speech.

I can see why fascists like yourself have to try to confuse the
meaning of the word, by the way. That's pretty obvious.

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic
system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair
salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to
wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we
are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."

But left wing fascists have a name for it for their repression of dissent.
