I'm not Radical Left, but I certainly recognize fascism for what it is -- pure evil, an ideology tailor-made for sociopaths. The conservative needs recognize that the fascist appeal to conservative sentiments (like 'family values' and 'patriotism') is itself a gross fraud. The fascist is delighted to break up intact families to break minority groups, and they are delighted to commit the nation to wars against peace-loving peoples who must then militarize just to survive. The fascist loves to steal, which makes him no defender of property rights essential to all modern forms of conservatism. The fascist is also the arch-enemy of conscience that makes religious faith meaningful.
We all know what a Nazi is, and nobody can adopt Nazi symbols and rhetoric without selling one's soul to the Devil. We all know what the Klan is, and nobody can adopt Klan symbols and rhetoric without.. well, you know.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
