Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg Summary
Overview of Liberal Fascism
Goldberg's controversial #1 NYT bestseller reframes fascism as left-wing ideology, challenging historical consensus. Even H.G. Wells inspired its provocative title. Ironically, thirteen years after publication, Goldberg admitted Trump proved him wrong about the right's "immunity to fascism."

The Fascist Origins You Never Suspected
What if everything you thought you knew about fascism was wrong? Jonah Goldberg's provocative thesis in "Liberal Fascism" challenges our most basic political assumptions: fascism wasn't a right-wing phenomenon but emerged from the progressive left. This historical bombshell explains why Mussolini was celebrated by American progressives, why Hitler called his movement "National Socialism," and why Woodrow Wilson created America's first genuine police state. The conventional wisdom positioning fascism as conservatism's evil twin is, Goldberg argues, perhaps the 20th century's greatest political myth. When we reflexively associate fascism with jackbooted thugs and right-wing extremism, we miss its true nature. The term has become a political cudgel - essentially a modern word for "heretic" - used to excommunicate opponents from legitimate discourse. But fascism's intellectual DNA reveals uncomfortable truths: both Mussolini and Hitler drew their core ideas from the same progressive wellsprings that modern liberals proudly claim as their heritage. Could the political spectrum we take for granted be fundamentally misunderstood?
