I’m surprised the author of “Liberal Facism” DIDN’T use the “F word”.
"Personally, I think socialism is the wrong word for all of this. "Corporatism" the economic doctrine of fascism fits better. Under corporatism, all the big players in the economy big business, unions, interest groups sit around the table with government at the head, hashing out what they think is best for everyone to the detriment of consumers, markets and entrepreneurs. But, take it from me, liberals are far more open to the argument that they're "crypto-socialists."
