“Should have been titled "American Fascism." Excellent, eye opening read. He should have explored more of Bush and Reagan's fascism, but he alluded to them without explicitly drawing them out.”
“This book is truly eye-opening. Liberals (particularly the crowd of college-aged kids that are young, hip, woefully uneducated on rudimentary history) hurl the word "fascist" around like it's going out of style. And thanks to Goldberg's book, it just might.He makes a well-argued case proving that the true political fascists/statists/totalitarians of our times have historically been those of the far left, and that the modern American left has a lot more philosophically in common with them than they'd like to admit (or that most of them even realize). And refreshingly, he also has the guts to confront the neocon establishment (Bush, Cheney, McCain and ilk) for their big-government, pseudo-conservative hypocrisies.Whether it's the USSR, Mussolini, The German National Socialist Party (aka the Nazis), or the modern-day "progressive" movement, the philosophy of state control of decisions taking priority over individual freedoms has always been their core uniting principle. That doesn't mean that this book is attempting to accuse all liberals of being closet Nazis. He's simply trying to prove that, contrary to popular belief (and the complete misunderstanding of what political fascism REALLY is), it is not conservatism, but liberalism, that traces its roots to the fascists.”
“Booooooooooo!!!!”
