Because People in power are Stupid: Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely -- and correctly -- regarded as being on the political left. Revisionism makes the world so pretty. Seriously, fascism is not on the political left, and authoritarianism is shared by many political philosophies. God damn, sometimes I feel I'm being pushed to the edge by these morons. |

derpdeederp: The Reverend Smith: We get it racistmitter, he's black. Lol, the author is black too. I'm starting to think comments like this come from the alt-loving freepers themselves, solely for the purpose of rebuking them. FARK is a tough crowd if you speak derp, and it's easy to control the narrative if you control both sides. |

The whole article is based on the false assumption that Obama critics care about the real definition of a socialist. |

Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left. But I think we're missing the real question here, people, which is could W.E.B. Du Bois eat more than fifteen schnitzengruben? |

Sowell, you stupid fark, step away from the Jonah Goldberg book. Anyone who believes Jonah's idiotic keyboard vomit is even dumber than he is. At least he got paid to write that pure, unadulterated bullshiat. |

I was a big fan of Sowell at one time. I've read many of his books. They made perfect sense at the time. The more I see world events play out the more I realize what a total dumbass this guy is. He's worse than a dumbass. He's an ideologue that refuses to acknowledge any facts that conflict with his worldview. fark him. |

I'm glad he cited reliable sources to back his derp. Like the "great book" by that very respected pulitzer prize nominated* author Jonah Goldberg. *not intended to be a factual statement |

Liberalism opposes multiple ideologies: conservatism, fascism and the two major forms of socialism-communism and social democracy. Conservatism opposes multiple ideologies: fascism, liberalism, and the two major forms of socialism-communism and social democracy. All three of these statements are equally true and equally meaningless. Fascism is a political philosophy of the extreme right, and that isnt even a criticism of real conservatism, any more than it's a criticism of liberalism to say that Soviet communism was a philosophy of the extreme left. The only reason for you to get defensive and spread misinformation is that on some level you know that modern American conservatism is increasingly indistinguishable from fascism. |

Fascism and communism are exactly Communists. That's why the fascists and communists fought the largest war in human history trying to annihilate each other. Haven't you seen the footage of the Soviets howling "COPY CAAATSS!!" just before locking arms and charging the machine guns? |

There should be a moratorium on -isms until we all learn what they actually mean. |

| cc_rider It blows my mind that wingnuts think Thomas "Token" Sowell is one of the greatest intellectual thinkers of his generation. His columns are nothing but verbal vomit, the books might be slightly better, but still full of all kinds of wrong. I'm sorry, but this man is a phony, and a flaming farking idiot. /Carry on. |

Esc7: Anytime this POS is brought up, you need to first read this article: http://www.salon.com/2012/05/10/jonah _goldbergs_desperation/ and know at least some people know what a hack he is. Or, you could go to the goddamn Holocaust Museum in Washington and look at all the scary signs the fascist brownshirts put up, warning people about the leftist/commie peril infesting Germany. The actual goddamn signs. Not replicas. |

malaktaus: In other words, you got nothin'. But I already knew that. Or how about this, because appearantly you are looking for an internet argument: Republitards are for a decentralized economy, Fascism is for a centralized economy. Republitards are for private property rights (Capitalism), Fascism is for state property and private property based on national service. Republitards are for democracy, Fascism is for a state leader. Better, now you have something you can try to beat up on. Best of luck there. |
