Professor, may I speak please?

Dear Professor, may I speak?

When I attended an out-of-state university for one year, I was greeted with a less than enthusiastic reception by two of my professors. First was a philosophy class where I objected to the worship of Jean-Jacque Rousseau as the "god" of intellectualism, ethics, and environmentalism. I asked the professor (female) how she could give so much credibility to a man who wrote books about raising children, who advocated removing children from the home at the earliest possible moment, such as 3 years of age, to indoctrinate them into a product (proletariat) that served the "states" interests, when he had killed his own 5 children. So I was removed from the class.

My second incident occurred in a poly-science course, when I argued the political model that showed the Liberals in the center of the political spectrum, Communism on the left, Conservatives on the right with Fascism just a little further to the right. He had drawn the model on the black board. I argued that this was not correct, and I believed almost all policies used to achieve societal consolidation, i.e. Communism, Socialism, and Fascism were identical. "Only the degree of recognition of international and national borders" determined the course to government totalitarianism. I was kicked out of the class and banded from any courses in the College of Liberal Arts, forcing me to transfer back to our instate University of Idaho.

It took me until 2 years ago, after frequent consideration, to come up with a working model. And Jonah Goldberg has given me confidence and validation that my model was correct. Left-wingers are simply mouthing the propaganda of Joseph Stalin when they say that right-wingers are fascists. The "rising star" of communism, as Benito Mussolini was joyously named by Vladimir Lenin, broke the accepted communist model when the theory of borderless nations and class warfare was broken by ultra-nationalism in Mussolini's effort to unite his nation around socialist ideals. As Goldberg demonstrates, Communism, Socialism, and Fascism are differentiated by the rejection or recognition of international and national borders, but the ideology and "ends" are exactly the same. A proletariat is created as a tool or "means" of the over-throw of Capitalism or other form of government to create a new society of "social justice and equality" to be controlled by the elites, experts and professors, and ideologs who understand their "needs" better than the ignorant proletariat understand themselves.

I am on my second read, and I was especially surprised at the degree of suppression that Woodrow Wilson subjected this country too. Some parts may be a little bit of a reach, but especially the foundations of the "Progressive Movement" are well outlined. It also helps me to achieve a clearer understanding of the connections between French Marxist philosopher Georges Eugene Sorel's "anarchosyndicalism" model of community and societal organizing, the "Vital Lie", the great "Myth" theories to Woodrow Wilson, and Saul Alinsky (this was not covered in the book). Excellent!

Liberal Fascism

Excellent, thoughtful and damning account of the history of the Left in the US. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in defeating Communism, Socialism, Fascism and (modern) Liberals.

Everyone must read this book!

After getting a BA in political science I can tell you that I had to sit through a professor drawing a line on the chalk board and saying "socialism in on the left and fascism is on the right" every semester and in every class. Now it never made sense to me (when exactly do libertarians, arguably the most conservative main stream party on the right, make the jump from as little government as possible to fascism??), but at the time I didn't really have the facts (or the courage) to challenge it. This book answers all of the questions I had about this issue and then some. Yes, the author has a point of view. Yes, he passionately believes in his "preconceived notion of reality." Can anyone point me to someone who doesn't? Jonah did his research and expresses his thoughts well. Everyone should read this book!

A review of "Liberal Fascism"

Fascism has historically been associated with the Right, meaning an Authoritarian system of government, acting in league with corporations. In this excellent book, Jonah Goldberg examines how, in modern practice, Fascism has become a product of the New Left. This is an extremely well written and scholarly book, and I think it should be required reading for all Political Science majors. While I am not one, I am a political junkie, and enjoyed it very much.

The naked liberals

this book exposes the truth about the left wing and the state of mind there in .there beliefs and there DBL standers.
