Excellent, post, Frederick! Thank you and well done. And what a hit-piece on Posobiec the SPJC published. It goes from lie to lie, all the while falsely saying that he was lying. I certainly hope they are rendered out of existence after their schemes to fund inorganic racist attacks was exposed.

Thank you for the thoughtful post!

Wow, what a sentence: "This is not a minor tension; it is a self-contradiction that hollows out the essay’s thesis from the very first lines." I enjoy well written essays. It is ironic when the term fascism is thrown around without knowledge it was birthed by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile. The latter would be what is deemed a Neo-Hegelian, thus linked to socialism. The linkage of violence to what is perceived as 'alt-right' but not 'alt-left,' as in Leninism or Maoism, makes no logical sense, but it does so on a shallow level. The Nazi's had such great uniforms and pageantry. Perhaps had Mao had a better tailor, we would know more about the violence stemming from communism.

Good catch and logical breakdown of a completely ridiculous argument Frederick.
