The Progressives keep associating Nazism and Fascism with the Rightwing. This myth has been destroyed by Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism and Glenn Beck’s Revolutionary Holocaust Special. All Totalitarian State based ideologies are of the Left. They have been inspired by the French Revolution and Karl Marx. These ideologies believe in the concept of perfected men, such as the Nazis’ Master Race and the Communists’ New Man. These beliefs have led to race based and class based genocide in the 20th century which has resulted in the death of Millions.
As Beck explains, the further to the Right one goes politically, the more Individualistic it gets. The net result is Anarchism, hence the need for some Government. The further to the Left one gets, the more Collectivist and the end result is a Totalitarian government. Hence Nazism, Communism, Fascism, Socialism and Maoism are all Progressive Ideologies. They all believe in control of the masses by an elite and the reshaping of society via class or racial grounds. Progressive Ideologies are anti-human at the core and history has proven this.
