“Shared equally by the left, and the right”? Someone’s talking about a different book than the one I just read. Goldberg’s thesis is reasonably clear and logically developed. The fascist tendency crops up in those who believe themselves to be on a mission to engineer society, regulate it in all its annoying details, and grow the government to whatever size is necessary to do that. That is hardly a “conservative” vision. It is, of course, identical to the “progressive” vision of the WW1 era, the “fascist” vision of the interwar years, and the modern “liberal” PC vision. Goldberg’s book is devoted to demonstrating this.
