![]() ![]() At the same time, Goldberg focuses on the common roots of fascists and modern liberals or “progressives.” Rather, Goldberg attacks the misconception that contemporary “conservatives” have much in common with fascism. Goldberg takes great care to note that he is not saying that all liberals are fascists, and Goldberg takes pains to separate the anti-semitism and mass murder of the Nazis, noting those were unique to the Third Reich (indeed, even Mussolini protected Jews, while he was able). In doing the latter, he gets a bit repetitive in making his case, but nonetheless it is a worthwhile read to understand the intellectual roots of past and present ideologies. ![]() ![]() Goldberg both attempts to make the case that fascism has always been a left-wing (or “liberal”) phenomenon, while also presenting a history of fascism in the 20th, and 21st, century. I finally got around to finishing Jonah Goldberg’s 2007 tome, Liberal Fascism, a compelling and important read. ![]()
