Words that a modern day Progressive may utter…

"We are enemies, deadly enemies, of today's capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, its unfair wage system, its immoral way of judging the worth of human beings in terms of their wealth and their money, instead of their responsibility and their performance, and we are determined to destroy this system whatever happens!" ---Nazi ideologist Gregor Strasser

Great find. Eerie, isn't it? Have you read Goldberg's book, Liberal Fascism?

Jeff,

I'm about 100 pages into Liberal Fascism and it is excellent! That is where I got the quote. You have a keen eye, my friend:)

While not so well written, The Ominous Parallels by Leonard Peikoff gives a much deeper and more extensively detailed picture of Germany, and shows the parallels to contemporary America. It was written over a period of about 10-15 years before it was published in 1982 and is still highly relevant.
