Overview
Draws parallels between the fascism of the 1930s and the liberalism of the present, arguing that liberal politicians from Woodrow Wilson to Hillary Clinton have espoused policies and principles similar to those of Hitler's National Socialism.
Publishers Description
“Fascists,” “Brownshirts,” “jackbooted stormtroopers”—such are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents. Calling someone a fascist is the fastest way to shut them up, defining their views as beyond the political pale. But who are the real fascists in our midst?
Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics. Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler's National Socialism and Mussolini's Fascism.
Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term “National socialism”). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities—where campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist.
Do these striking parallels mean that today's liberals are genocidal maniacs, intent on conquering the world and imposing a new racial order? Not at all. Yet it is hard to deny that modern progressivism and classical fascism shared the same intellectual roots. We often forget, for example, that Mussolini and Hitler had many admirers in the United States. W.E.B. Du Bois was inspired by Hitler's Germany, and Irving Berlin praised Mussolini in song. Many fascist tenets were espoused by American progressives like John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR incorporated fascist policies in the New Deal.
Fascism was an international movement that appeared in different forms in different countries, depending on the vagaries of national culture and temperament. In Germany, fascism appeared as genocidal racist nationalism. In America, it took a “friendlier,” more liberal form. The modern heirs of this “friendly fascist” tradition include the New York Times, the Democratic Party, the Ivy League professoriate, and the liberals of Hollywood. The quintessential Liberal Fascist isn't an SS storm trooper; it is a female grade school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore.
These assertions may sound strange to modern ears, but that is because we have forgotten what fascism is. In this angry, funny, smart, contentious book, Jonah Goldberg turns our preconceptions inside out and shows us the true meaning of Liberal Fascism.

Mussolini:
The Father of Fascism
You're the top!
You're the Great Houdini!
You're the top!
You are Mussolini!
—An early version of the Cole Porter song “You're the Top” (1)
IF YOU WENT solely by what you read in the New York Times or the New York Review of Books, or what you learned from Hollywood, you could be forgiven for thinking that Benito Mussolini came to power around the same time as Adolf Hitler—or even a little bit later—and that Italian Fascism was merely a tardy, watered–down version of Nazism. Germany passed its hateful race policies—the Nuremberg Laws—in 1935, and Mussolini's Italy followed suit in 1938. German Jews were rounded up in 1942, and Jews in Italy were rounded up in 1943. A few writers will casually mention, in parenthetical asides, that until Italy passed its race laws there were actually Jews serving in the Italian government and the Fascist Party. And on occasion you'll notice a nod to historical accuracy indicating that the Jews were rounded up only after the Nazis had invaded northern Italy and created a puppet government in Salo. But such inconvenient facts are usually skipped over as quickly as possible. More likely, your understanding of these issues comes from such sources as the Oscar–winning film Life Is Beautiful, (2) which can be summarized as follows: Fascism arrived in Italy and, a few months later, so did the Nazis, who carted off the Jews. As for Mussolini, he was a bombastic, goofy–looking, but highly effective dictator who made the trains run on time.
All of this amounts to playing the movie backward. By the time Italy reluctantly passed its shameful race laws—which it never enforced with even a fraction of the barbarity shown by the Nazis—over 75 percent of Italian Fascism's reign had already transpired. A full sixteen years elapsed between the March on Rome and the passage of Italy's race laws. To start with the Jews when talking about Mussolini is like starting with FDR's internment of the Japanese: it leaves a lot of the story on the cutting room floor. Throughout the 1920s and well into the 1930s, fascism meant something very different from Auschwitz and Nuremberg. Before Hitler, in fact, it never occurred to anyone that fascism had anything to do with anti–Semitism. Indeed, Mussolini was supported not only by the chief rabbi of Rome but by a substantial portion of the Italian Jewish community (and the world Jewish community). Moreover, Jews were overrepresented in the Italian Fascist movement from its founding in 1919 until they were kicked out in 1938.
Race did help turn the tables of American public opinion on Fascism. But it had nothing to do with the Jews. When Mussolini invaded Ethiopia, Americans finally started to turn on him. In 1934 the hit Cole Porter song “You're the Top” engendered nary a word of controversy over the line “You are Mussolini!” When Mussolini invaded that poor but noble African kingdom the following year, it irrevocably marred his image, and Americans decided they had had enough of his act. It was the first war of conquest by a Western European nation in over a decade, and Americans were distinctly unamused, particularly liberals and blacks. Still, it was a slow process. The Chicago Tribune initially supported the invasion, as did reporters like Herbert Matthews. Others claimed it would be hypocritical to condemn it. The New Republic—then in the thick of its pro–Soviet phase—believed it would be “naive” to blame Mussolini when the real culprit was international capitalism. And more than a few prominent Americans continued to support him, although quietly. The poet Wallace Stevens, for example, stayed pro–Fascist. “I am pro–Mussolini, personally,” he wrote to a friend. “The Italians,” he explained, “have as much right to take Ethiopia from the coons as the coons had to take it from the boa–constrictors.” (3) But over time, largely due to his subsequent alliance with Hitler, Mussolini's image never recovered.
That's not to say he didn't have a good ride.
In 1923 the journalist Isaac F. Marcosson wrote admiringly in the New York Times that “Mussolini is a Latin [Teddy] Roosevelt who first acts and then inquires if it is legal. He has been of great service to Italy at home.” (4) The American Legion, which has been for nearly its entire history a great and generous American institution, was founded the same year as Mussolini's takeover and, in its early years, drew inspiration from the Italian Fascist movement. “Do not forget,” the legion's national commander declared that same year, “that the Fascisti are to Italy what the American Legion is to the United States.” (5)
In 1926 the American humorist Will Rogers visited Italy and interviewed Mussolini. He told the New York Times that Mussolini was “some Wop.” “I'm pretty high on that bird.” Rogers, whom the National Press Club had informally dubbed “Ambassador–at–Large of the United States,” wrote up the interview for the Saturday Evening Post. He concluded, “Dictator form of government is the greatest form of government: that is if you have the right Dictator.” (6) In 1927 the Literary Digest conducted an editorial survey asking the question: “Is there a dearth of great men?” The person named most often to refute the charge was Benito Mussolini—followed by Lenin, Edison, Marconi, and Orville Wright, with Henry Ford and George Bernard Shaw tying for sixth place. In 1928 the Saturday Evening Post glorified Mussolini even further, running an eight–part autobiography written by Il Duce himself. The series was gussied up into a book that gained one of the biggest advances ever given by an American publisher.
And why shouldn't the average American think Mussolini was anything but a great man? Winston Churchill had dubbed him the world's greatest living lawgiver. Sigmund Freud sent Mussolini a copy of a book he co–wrote with Albert Einstein, inscribed, “To Benito Mussolini, from an old man who greets in the Ruler, the Hero of Culture.” The opera titans Giacomo Puccini and Arturo Toscanini were both pioneering Fascist acolytes of Mussolini. Toscanini was an early member of the Milan circle of Fascists, which conferred an aura of seniority not unlike being a member of the Nazi Party in the days of the Beer Hall Putsch. Toscanini ran for the Italian parliament on a Fascist ticket in 1919 and didn't repudiate Fascism until twelve years later. (7)
Mussolini was a particular hero to the muckrakers—those progressive liberal journalists who famously looked out for the little guy. When Ida Tarbell, the famed reporter whose work helped break up Standard Oil, was sent to Italy in 1926 by McCall's to write a series on the Fascist nation, the U.S. State Department feared that this “pretty red radical” would write nothing but “violent anti–Mussolini articles.” Their fears were misplaced. Tarbell was wooed by the man she called “a despot with a dimple,” praising his progressive attitude toward labor. Similarly smitten was Lincoln Steffens, another famous muckraker, who is today perhaps dimly remembered for being the man who returned from the Soviet Union declaring, “I have been over into the future, and it works.” Shortly after that declaration, he made another about Mussolini: God had “formed Mussolini out of the rib of Italy.” As we'll see, Steffens saw no contradiction between his fondness for Fascism and his admiration of the Soviet Union. Even Samuel McClure, the founder of McClure's Magazine, the home of so much famous muckraking, championed Fascism after visiting Italy. He hailed it as “a great step forward and the first new ideal in government since the founding of the American Republic.” (8)
Meanwhile, almost all of Italy's most famous and admired young intellectuals and artists were Fascists or Fascist sympathizers (the most notable exception was the literary critic Benedetto Croce). Giovanni Papini, the “magical pragmatist” so admired by William James, was deeply involved in the various intellectual movements that created Fascism. Papini's Life of Christ—a turbulent, almost hysterical tour de force chronicling his acceptance of Christianity—caused a sensation in the United States in the early 1920s. Giuseppe Prezzolini, a frequent contributor to the New Republic who would one day become a respected professor at Columbia University, was one of Fascism's earliest literary and ideological architects. F. T. Marinetti, the founder of the Futurist movement—which in America was seen as an artistic companion to Cubism and Expressionism—was instrumental in making Italian Fascism the world's first successful “youth movement.” America's education establishment was keenly interested in Italy's “breakthroughs” under the famed “schoolmaster” Benito Mussolini, who, after all, had once been a teacher.
Perhaps no elite institution in America was more accommodating to Fascism than Columbia University. In 1926 it established Casa Italiana, a center for the study of Italian culture and a lecture venue for prominent Italian scholars. It was Fascism's “veritable home in America” and a “schoolhouse for budding Fascist ideologues,” according to John Patrick Diggins. Mussolini himself had contributed some ornate Baroque furniture to Casa Italiana and had sent Columbia's president, Nicholas Murray Butler, a signed photo thanking him for his “most valuable contribution” to the promotion of understanding between Fascist Italy and the United States. (9) Butler himself was not an advocate of fascism for America, but he did believe it was in the best interests of the Italian people and that it had been a very real success, well worth studying. This subtle distinction—fascism is good for Italians, but maybe not for America—was held by a vast array of prominent liberal intellectuals in much the same way some liberals defend Castro's communist “experiment.”
While academics debated the finer points of Mussolini's corporatist state, mainstream America's interest in Mussolini far outstripped that of any other international figure in the 1920s. From 1925 to 1928 there were more than a hundred articles written on Mussolini in American publications and only fifteen on Stalin. (10) For more than a decade the New York Times's foreign correspondent Anne O'Hare McCormick painted a glowing picture of Mussolini that made the Times's later fawning over Stalin seem almost critical. The New York Tribune was vexed to answer the question: Was Mussolini Garibaldi or Caesar? Meanwhile, James A. Farrell, the head of U.S. Steel, dubbed the Italian dictator “the greatest living man” in the world.
Hollywood moguls, noting his obvious theatrical gifts, hoped to make Mussolini a star of the big screen, and he appeared in The Eternal City (1923), starring Lionel Barrymore. The film recounts the battles between communists and Fascists for control of Italy, and—mirabile dictu—Hollywood takes the side of the Fascists. “His deportment on the screen,” one reviewer proclaimed, “lends weight to the theory that this is just where he belongs.” (11) In 1933 Columbia Pictures released a “documentary” called Mussolini Speaks—supervised by Il Duce himself. Lowell Thomas—the legendary American journalist who had made Lawrence of Arabia famous—worked closely on the film and provided fawning commentary throughout. Mussolini was portrayed as a heroic strongman and national savior. When the crescendo builds before Mussolini gives a speech in Naples, Thomas declares breathlessly, “This is his supreme moment. He stands like a modern Caesar!” The film opened to record business at the RKO Palace in New York. Columbia took out an ad in Variety proclaiming the film a hit in giant block letters because “it appeals to all RED BLOODED AMERICANS” and “it might be the ANSWER TO AMERICA'S NEEDS.”
Fascism certainly had its critics in the 1920s and 1930s. Ernest Hemingway was skeptical of Mussolini almost from the start. Henry Miller disliked Fascism's program but admired Mussolini's will and strength. Some on the so–called Old Right, like the libertarian Albert J. Nock, saw Fascism as just another kind of statism. The nativist Ku Klux Klan—ironically, often called “American fascists” by liberals—tended to despise Mussolini and his American followers (mainly because they were immigrants). Interestingly, the hard left had almost nothing to say about Italian Fascism for most of its first decade. While liberals were split into various unstable factions, the American left remained largely oblivious to Fascism until the Great Depression. When the left did finally start attacking Mussolini in earnest—largely on orders from Moscow—they lumped him in essentially the same category as Franklin Roosevelt, the socialist Norman Thomas, and the progressive Robert La Follette. (12)
We'll be revisiting how American liberals and leftists viewed Fascism in subsequent chapters. But first it seems worth asking, how was this possible? Given everything we've been taught about the evils of fascism, how is it that for more than a decade this country was in significant respects pro–fascist? Even more vexing, how is it—considering that most liberals and leftists believe they were put on this earth to oppose fascism with every breath—that many if not most American liberals either admired Mussolini and his project or simply didn't care much about it one way or the other?
The answer resides in the fact that Fascism was born of a “fascist moment” in Western civilization, when a coalition of intellectuals going by various labels—progressive, communist, socialist, and so forth—believed the era of liberal democracy was drawing to a close. It was time for man to lay aside the anachronisms of natural law, traditional religion, constitutional liberty, capitalism, and the like and rise to the responsibility of remaking the world in his own image. God was long dead, and it was long overdue for men to take His place. Mussolini, a lifelong socialist intellectual, was a warrior in this crusade, and his Fascism—a doctrine he created from the same intellectual material Lenin and Trotsky had built their movements with—was a grand leap into the era of “experimentation” that would sweep aside old dogmas and usher in a new age. This was in every significant way a project of the left as we understand the term today, a fact understood by Mussolini, his admirers, and his detractors. Mussolini declared often that the nineteenth century was the century of liberalism and the twentieth century would be the “century of Fascism.” It is only by examining his life and legacy that we can see how right—and left—he was.

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini was named after three revolutionary heroes. The name Benito—a Spanish name, as opposed to the Italian equivalent, Benedetto—was inspired by Benito Juárez, the Mexican revolutionary turned president who not only toppled the emperor Maximilian but had him executed. The other two names were inspired by now-forgotten heroes of anarchist–socialism, Amilcare Cipriani and Andrea Costa.
Mussolini's father, Alessandro, was a blacksmith and ardent socialist with an anarchist bent who was a member of the First International along with Marx and Engels and served on the local socialist council. Alessandro's “[h]eart and mind were always filled and pulsing with socialistic theories,” Mussolini recalled. “His intense sympathies mingled with [socialist] doctrines and causes. He discussed them in the evening with his friends and his eyes filled with light.” (13) On other nights Mussolini's father read him passages from Das Kapital. When villagers brought their horses to Alessandro's shop to be shod, part of the price came in the form of listening to the blacksmith spout his socialist theories. Mussolini was a congenital rabble–rouser. At the age of ten, young Benito led a demonstration against his school for serving bad food. In high school he called himself a socialist, and at the age of eighteen, while working as a substitute teacher, he became the secretary of a socialist organization and began his career as a left–wing journalist.

 | Succumbs to the same abuses he ostensibly cleans up Jan 13, 2010 |
Goldberg would have been well advised to discuss why conservative views were not properly called fascist as well as why someone could call liberal ones fascist. This might have given some insight as to how to characterize political views properly with things like single names and fundamental genres.
He explicitly states that Woodrow Wilson, his least favorite American President, was not a fascist. He then calls several of his policies explicitly that. This seems like a harsh term even for Woodrow Wilson's policies. Wilson was probably at heart a popular leader, albeit sometimes heavy handed. Belief in popular government is fundamentally at variance with any definition of fascism. The author does a poor job of distinguishing fascism from general totalitarianism, although this may prove somewhat difficult to do. In short, most of this is a tour de force of exactly the sort of name calling he supposedly deplores. | | |  | I'm shocked at some of the negative reviews here Jan 8, 2010 |
I wish it were possible to ensure that posters of these reviews did in fact read the book, and be tested to ensure that they understood what they read. If you disagree with his premise that is fine, but, you must do so by refuting the actual arguments in the book. It's impossible to redefine history when so much of Hitlers Germany and Mussolini's Italy are documented. Not by historians, but, by the men themselves. I thought this book was well written and does in fact expose the re-writing of history. These men were radicals and did embrace many of the same tired arguments of the left albeit not all of them (which Jonah many times points out).
I would suggest buying the book, or borrowing it, and reading it. It will likely lead you to simply doing more reading on the subjects and coming to your own conclusions. How can any book that does that be considered a bad investment? | | |  | A golden opportunity missed. Dec 29, 2009 |
At the outset, I have to say that I approached this book with hope. The book started well, accurately describing Mussolini's drift from left to right, and his masterly use of left-wing rhetoric to rally the masses around the fascist banner. After Mussolini, though, the book simply slimes its way into facile comparisons and liberal baiting. I should have skipped to the end of the book and read Goldberg's defense of Bush, and his adulation of Patrick Buchanan to see where the author was really coming from before purchasing it into my Kindle.
There is a LOT to be said against liberal identity politics, and a LOT to be said about many liberals' blind support of policies and politicians who have turned out to be right wing or fascist, but you won't find it in this book.
The worst part of it all is, if this book were in my library, I would simply toss it, or use its paper for dog-training. Alas, with the Kindle, I can only put it in my "Archives", where I have to see the damn thing every time I go there to retrieve other, ever more worthy books. (You can never get rid of a title once you have put it on the Kindle.) So I guess this is also a bad review for one of the Kindle's functions as well. | | |  | This book solves a lot of questions. Dec 28, 2009 |
| This book might put liberals to the defensive, but it does clarify a lot of issues revolving around the rise of fascism in Europe and how its ideals are still alive in today's most powerful democracy. The role of the State, the need for unity, the permanent need for a crisis are questions still present in today's politics and liberal views sometimes do not go too far away from those exposed by European fascists in the early 20th century. Good read. | | | | In light of current events...could it be we've lost the fight! Dec 27, 2009 |
After reading this book it would appear that the answer Jonah Goldberg was looking for, when he indicated that there isn't a good explanation or description of Fascism is that;
"Whenever a single party (like the Democrats in America) obtain control over all the various Branches of government, the courts, education, the media, entertainment industry and the salaries of CEO's ...and convinces a naïve people (who they created through decades of K-12 school brainwashing) to support their ridiculous plans for a tax and spend victimized society. You basically have a fascist state in its infancy; where every means of influence and force will be used to chastise, ridicule or compel "the people" to follow its dictates or face reprisals, revenge, and/or intimidation through one or all of those systems or means of influence and pressure. Every lie will be re-enforced, supported and defended by the puppets within them, who have betrayed their honor, their country and their countrymen to be a part of the "party".
This is indicative of the current Democrat Party. It is no longer democratic to be a Democrat...it is more like being a storm trooper of the liberal fascist and socialist movements. "In other words" the Progressively Deviant Godless Liberal Fascist Party of America or the "Yes we can!", "Change is coming" and "Obama-nation" society we are currently living in.
However, Obama does not shoulder all the blame.
The Clinton's are culpable, the Kerry's, the Kennedy's and the Rangel's, the Dodd's, the Schumer's, Boxer's, Frank's, Byrd's, Pelosi's and Reed's are all hip deep in this Social Fascism being stuffed down the throats of the American People.
Unfortunately too many young people are so brain-dead through mental manipulation by the teachers, entertainment and media...that they have no intellectual weapons (critical thinking skills) with which to fight back. The dream is fulfilled by the Marxist and Stalinist and Mussolini's of the left when an actress can directed how one votes.
Equally culpable are the Chris Matthew's who sold his soul to partisanship, the Keith Dobermans' (sic), Larry King's, Rachel Maddox's, and that Dan Rather guy...who sold his honor to corruptly support the fascist of the left. Let's not forget the Chris Wallace's, Barbara Walter's, and Oprah Winfrey clones on the view who are so far left they have become the handmaidens of Stalin and Adolf...or the apologist Alan Comb's and Bob Beckel who point out with great zeal every crack in their opponents armor, while pretending to be fair and balanced...but make elaborate excuses for every flaw their party leaders exhibit or encountered.
Along with countless others, especially actors and actresses who are so elitist they squeak when they walk...who feel it their duty to turn traitor to the true history of this nation, their countries glory and their honor and supported this anti-American revolution into American Fascism. Just like good little stomp-in-fuehrer drones.
Add to that the great hypocrisy of our Liberal Theo-Phobic elitist aristocracy in the halls of congress...calling others the very names they are themselves...like liars, racist, sexist, hate mongers and fascist; and America is doomed to repeat the worst episodes in history. The inmates are indeed running the asylum.
Conservatives and/or Republicans would be well advised to carry a hand mirror into any discussion, interview or debate and simply hold it up to the person asking questions and making charges or ridiculing them about an issue...so that person can see who they are really talking about.
The most poignant statement of this book among the thousands of brilliant characterizations of the American Left's overwhelming success in causing the destruction of true American Principles, values, ideals and liberties is this.
Only slightly adjusted by me...
"Democrat operatives...in all walks of life...have initiated a deviant minority/special interest uprising, led and manipulated by an (self-aggrandizing, egotistical and hedonistic) intellectual vanguard of elitist determined to replace Christianity (and divine certainty), the Constitution, and 5,000 years of wisdom with a political religion that glorifies "their People" (mostly themselves) and who are anointed (by themselves) the Revolutionary Guard...or the priest...of this new WAY, with the singular power to give or take liberty, freedom and rights...to...or from...the individual."
American's of all colors, shapes and backgrounds have been manipulated over a half century of corrupted evil thinking and planning to walk blindly...like those young people (the Eloi) in that old version of "The Time Machine" into the clutches of the corrupted (Morlocks) to be devoured by the monsters below. In this case the unopposed liberal fascist and socialist of the left today.
And it is tragic for the world, our nation and our people that like the two societies in this movie both parties today have lost sight of the intelligence and character of Man at its peak; and are sliding down the far side of greatness, morality, righteousness and divine blessing into a self-destructive phase of ignorance.
America unfortunately is on the fast track to repeating history...the history of Italy, Russia and Germany.
It may take another 25 years or a half century to get there fully...but we are on (with liberals in all places of power and influence) a monorail-like track...and if the left remains in power as they plan to, with all that misappropriated money they conned the simpleton left wingers into granting them, after this last election, we will arrive sooner than that.
The three greatest criminals in this tragedy are:
Bill and Hillary Clinton who made bitter enemies of the two parties
Barak Obama who is using race & fear to turn America into a weak communist, socialistic and Muslim indulging nation
And Nancy Pelosi who could not open her mouth for eight years without degrading our last true president, George W. Bush...before our people and the world; but has said nothing about the same actions by Barack Obama. She is the epitome of (a book in work by myself) "The Great Hypocrisy Defined".
Goldberg's book is eye opening...unfortunately those with their eyes close will keep them closed and remain in the dark...the evil has engulfed their souls already.
