re: #234 Killgore Trout

It gets tricky when you get near the moronic convergence of left and right. Was communism really that different from national socialism? no, not really. The difference traditionally comes from the direction they came from to arrive at the moronic convergence. I get a little uncomfortable with the “liberal fascism” thing because it starts to approach historical revisionism. It is what it is.

Well, there really is no disputing the fact that Walter Duranty of the New York Times, useful idiot extraordinaire, helped Stalin spread the meme that Naziism was a right-wing phenomenon.

Goldberg, in Liberal Fascism, makes the point that back in the 1920s, when the Reds and the Brownshirts were slugging it out in the streets of Germany, that it was essentially a battle over market share. They were both peddling the same shit to the same client base.
