both pro-Obama and anti- Obama observers may be reluctant to see him as fascist is that both tend to accept the prevailing no- tion that fascism is on the political right, while it is obvious that Obama is on the political left. Back in the 1920s, how-


ever, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely — and cor- rectly — regarded as being on the political left. Jonah Goldberg’s great


book “Liberal Fascism” cites overwhelming evi- dence of the fascists’ con- sistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left’s


embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s. Mussolini, the originator


of fascism, was lionized by the left, both in Europe and in America, during the 1920s. Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left. It was in the 1930s,


when ugly internal and international actions by Hitler and Mussolini re- pelled the world, that the left distanced themselves from fascism and its Nazi offshoot — and verbally transferred these totali- tarian dictatorships to the right, saddling their oppo- nents with these pariahs. What socialism, fascism


and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people — like themselves — need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by govern-


ment fiat. The left’s vision is not


only a vision of the world, but also a vision of them- selves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends. In the United States, how- ever, this vision conflicts with a Constitution that begins, “We the People...” That is why the left has


for more than a century been trying to get the Con- stitution’s limitations on government loosened or evaded by judges’ new interpretations, based on notions of “a living Con- stitution” that will take decisions out of the hands of “We the People,” and transfer those decisions to our betters. The self-flattery of the


vision of the left also gives its true believers a huge ego stake in that vision, which means that mere facts are unlikely to make them reconsider, regard- less of what evidence piles up against the vision of the left, and regardless of its disastrous consequences. Only our own awareness


of the huge stakes involved can save us from the ram- paging presumptions of our betters, whether they are called socialists or fas- cists. So long as we buy their heady rhetoric, we are selling our birthright of freedom.
