“…that these fascist bastards on the left have always employed.”
And yet we’re expected to accept the fine discrimination of writers like Paul Gottfried (“The ‘F’ Word on Takimag, 4 June 2012), who wrote:
“Fascism belonged to the right but was not conservative in any traditional sense. It took over the revolutionary rhetoric of the leftist internationalists and socialists, but fascist “national revolutions” changed the social structure only minimally. In Latin countries and in Austria, the fascists borrowed heavily from the Catholic Church and took over at least the labeling of neo-medieval corporate and guild organizations.”
Let’s see; our “Liberal” fascisti are AUTHORITARIAN and viciously opposed to American conservatives as regards the individual human being’s unalienable rights to life, liberty and property, but because they’re not picking up the colorations (and fashion sense) of Spain’s Falange or Germany’s National Socialists or Argentina’s Peronists, the Ayers-Obozo-Clinton crew cannot be called “fascists” even though in tactics and objectives they fit the definition about as precisely as possible?
Beyond the cosmetic appearance of left-“Liberalism,” what we have on both sides of the government-as-Santa-Claus statist klavern (who know when you’ve been sleeping, who know when you’re awake, who know if you’ve broken any of those hundreds of thousands of federal and state regulations, and who have access to your electronic medical records, so get your compulsory vaccinations up-to-date…) is so much the same fucking thing that calling one bunch “left” and the other “right” makes the concept of “left-versus-right” when disussing these sons of bitches MEANINGLESS.
Which is the libertarian point, isn’t it?

Tucci,
My understand of the libertines is that they hold an anything goes and there should be government restriction involved in anything.
How that differs from Anarchy I haven’t figured out.
But there has been no society in history that functions that way for more than a minute period of time till the strongest take over and establish something totalitarian in nature. There have been many societies in history that way, so many that it tends to suggest it as an expression of human nature more than anything else. Fascism is just one expression of our totalitarian nature as is communism, it takes other forms as well.

“My understand of the libertines is that they hold an anything goes and there should be government restriction involved in anything.”
Libertines, as you understand them sound like they are followers of Aleister Crowley, the devil worshipping CIA guy.
Libertarians want a lot of laws rescinded and don’t want government owning roads and courts and police departments. The way you worded your statement doesn’t make a lot of sense.
It reads like flash’s style of “writing”, to use the term very loosely. If you would just go ahead and do a 5,000 word C&P, maybe it would be clearer.

Progressives aren’t blocking Trump rallies, it’s paid establishment operatives. The Progressives are busy helping Bernie beat Hitlery. BTW national polling shows Bernie beating Trump head-to-head by at least ten points.
The Establishment must have an unlimited supply of money and influence to pay all those that are blocking Trump rallies at all those different locations and to do it secretly as well..
And on College campuses as well, it seems, the same thing is going on. Surely you’re not of the opinion that all those college students are really paid protesters and not progressives?

When he was doing the “poke,poke,poke” bit, which was quite accurate, BTW, I was reminded of the U.S. / Israeli Middle East policy of “poke, poke, poke – OMG 9/11” nonsense.
