THIS IS A GOOD POST, TRYING TO CORRECT OUR YOUTH’S MAL-EDUCATION:  Fisking “14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism.”

But I wonder if the author knows that kids are taught all these things. Including that nationalism and law and order are “fascism.”
Of course, he’s right. what it actually boils to is “if you aren’t a rabid leftist who wants to destroy the country, we’re going to call you a fascist.”  You see, I was told this over and over when I was young myself: “If you’re not a communist, you’re a fascist.” To which my only answer was, always: A pox on both your houses.
