Michel Clouscard:

“Neofascism will be the ultimate expression of libertarian social liberalism, of the unit which starts in May 68. Its specificity holds in this formula: All is allowed, but nothing is possible."

The modern left are under the label of liberal, not necessarily the ideology. Their ideology is the result of mixing various types of shit together then eating it up and throwing it up again

Is this really going to become a term in the future? I refuse to believe political disagreements on social media could lead to such a schism in the modern age.

the only people who call the modern left liberals are stupid americans and even more stupid non-americans who copy them(rare). it's an unhelpful term when liberal actually means something else entirely

Part of it comes back to their view of history as a "progression". You can see this clearly in communism, but also in modern catch-phrases like "right side of history" and "wrong side of history". This type of belief subjugates human to broader (perceived) historical processes and it makes it easy to justify all sorts of things. It creates the belief that your actions (whatever they are) will be vindicated in the future, that the ends will justify the means, etc.

Is there money to be made publishing meaningless stuff like this? I’m asking this sincerely. People like Milo whatever and Lauren Southern got published somehow and it amazes me. It took Larry Brown years of persistence and hard work to get published as an older wiser guy.

>American left

Automatically discarded. Any non-retard knows that there is no American left. It's far right and a little less right. Leftism is dead in America and probably isn't coming back unless it's something shitty like soc-dems. Makes me laugh when any moronic Ameritard calls something communism or liberal when they have absolutely no idea what those things mean.

>Today, there’s a low-simmering Jacobin fever aimed at the so-called one percent. This bland description of economic elites is logically ludicrous, given that it is a fact of math that there will always be a top one percent. A Bernie Sanders of a Stalinist bent could, in theory, liquidate the ranks of the top one percent and, in that very act, create an entirely new top one percent. Remove the top floor of a building and the next floor down becomes the top floor. The only way to ensure there is no top is to tear down the whole structure to the foundation.

Anons, 1 question: is this passage willfully ignorant, or is he actually this stupid? I know a lot of writers suffer from making basic logical mistakes because they don't work with math very often, but this is something.

There's a whole raquet for these types of books. I think i saw some news segment about it. There is this specific book publisher that does both democrat and republican books. And of course business gets good when the other guy is in power.

Of course a lot of these people already have audiences

>fascism

I've unrionically started (subconsciously at first) disregarding any comment or argument about fascism because, at this point, the term has so many contradictory or unrelated definitions used simultaneously by different political scientists and writers.

Racism is fascism. Corporations are fascism. Totalitarianism is fascism. Libertarianism is fascism. Populism is fascism. Socialism is fascism. Kanye West is fascism. Superheroes are fascism. Is there anything that ISN'T fascism at this point? You can't just apply every boogeyman threat under the sun to one, singular, specific ideology and expect any resultant commentary to be coherent.

It's basically a cheesy, but not whole incorrect, response to left-wing claims in the mid-2000s that George Bush Jr was a fascist who is building a police state. The author outlines a series of examples from the past where left-wing and Democratic presidents went much further than Bush did post-9/11 to silence dissent and punish critics and journalists. A couple examples I remember were the atmosphere of nationalism created by Woodrow Wilson and his subsequent anti-free speech measures during WWI, and the internment of Japanese by FDR from 1942.

Pretty blah book, desu. My main criticism would be that two wrongs don't make a right; tyrannical behaviour by past presidents doesn't make that of the current president any less dangerous.
