This book is poorly served by the smiley face on the front cover. It is a serious work that deserves far more attention than it has received.

It provides compelling and well-sourced evidence that the intellectual ancestors of today's liberal and progressive movements are in fact fascism as much as Marxism.

Goldberg demonstrates clearly through historical analysis and sound reasoning that the reason modern Americans see fascism as far right-wing and communism as far-left wing (and thus opposites) has more to do with the propaganda we've been fed than it does with the reality of the differences and similarities between communism and fascism, and liberalism and conservatism.
