Interesting missive. You proved your point very well.

you focus on controlling the definitions of things.

You defined "liberal fascism" to your own liking. I guess this makes you a liberal, or at best another of the liberal fascists.

The concept of "liberal fascism" itself is a crude attempt at re-definition.

Austin W. Bramwell wrote in The American Conservative: "Not only does Goldberg misunderstand liberalism, but he refuses to see it simply as liberalism... Liberal Fascism reads less like an extended argument than as a catalogue of conservative intellectual clichés, often irrelevant to the supposed point of the book."

Blogger and journalist David Neiwert, writing in The American Prospect, called the book "bizarro history" and "classic Newspeak." He wrote: "The title alone is enough to indicate its thoroughgoing incoherence: Of all the things we know about fascism and the traits that comprise it, one of the few things that historians will readily agree upon is its overwhelming anti-liberalism."
