Rightwing Fascists and Other Fables

Rightwing Fascists and Other Fables

Fascism has historically been one of the most poorly defined terms and since the 60's was equated, along with the Nazi's, with the extreme far right. It is only in the 21st century that we have begun looking at the actual function of fascism and the National Socialist Party of the 1930's and 40's Germany and discovered that they were not the extreme right but the extreme left. Hitler truly had much more in common with Joseph Stalin than any other politician of that era.

It is the far left--the liberal-progressives--who want to shut down free speech. Who want central government control of our personal lives. Who want a single party dictatorship with no dissent.

It is true conservatives who say it is time for an elected change in Washington. Not the change of Barack Obama, but a move away from Chicago-thug tactics, the tactics of the 1960's SDS and the tactics of Saul Alinsky.
