One more point here. I think it is safe to say that all fascists are socialists, but not all socialists are fascists. Communists, for example, are socialists but not fascists. Stalin made that very clear. But off hand I can’t think of any fascists that were not socialists. Socialism is really just the economic aspect of leftism. So that is really just saying that fascists are leftists. And that is what Goldberg is saying — correctly.

The fact that your muses are Goebbels and Stalin has a lot to do with it.
RussP - great input. Thanks. I’ve learned some good stuff from you. Keep up the good work!
