Goldberg's book is remarkable in that it shows, by the example of the most free for today's country, how close to the idea of the common good are to totalitarian ideologies and how far they are from the individualistic origins of the American republic - from the idea of the inalienable right to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
The scandalous title of this legendary historical and political book is due to the leftist intellectual Herbert Wells, who, speaking to Oxford students in 1932, urged them to become "liberal fascists" and "enlightened Nazis".
In this book, the editor of the American Conservative National Review, John Goldberg, argues that although the "modern fascists" in today's American culture are called conservative Republicans and libertarians, the real ideological relatives of the fascists are not Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
The book details and compares the political views of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (the godfather of all political religions), the early Progressivists of the 19-20th centuries, the regimes of Woodrow Wilson, Mussolini, Hitler, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, student left-wing radical movements in America in the 1960s and their followers up to this day.
