Chapter 2: How do fascism and Marxism compare in modern politics?
So national interests predominate. And sometimes that means imperialism abroad, like Hitler and Mussolini. If you look at this chart, calling Trump literally Hitler makes no sense. Because again, he is very nationalistic, and obviously Hitler and Mussolini, very nationalistic as well. But in terms of government control, totally different.
And again, the idea for Hitler and Mussolini was that their nationalism also translated over into invasion and annexation of a wide variety of countries that were supposed to live under Italian or German rule and cleansing of entire populations that didn't meet with the homogenous requirements of the dictator. Okay, now we move into the upper left-hand side and you see American style liberals.
American style liberals are for, again, high levels of government involvement, significantly higher than libertarians or US conservatives. And also they're more internationalist in their approach. They don't believe in closed borders. They don't believe in American national interests. They think that there ought to be a sort of global community of interest.
So obviously you've seen Democrats become ever more interventionist in terms of government control. You had Barack Obama, claiming that he just wanted to slightly remake health care with Obamacare. And then you saw Joe Biden moving ever closer toward Bernie Sanders style health care. AOC obviously wants full scale nationalization of the health care system. You see this with regard to taxation.
If you go all the way back to the 1990s, Bill Clinton, who was a U.S. liberal, wanted. Higher taxes, but he also lowered the capital gains tax. Barack Obama wanted higher taxes. Biden wanted even higher taxes than that. AOC wants as high taxes as possible. Higher levels of government control for the Democratic Party is a one-way ratchet. It never moves the other way.
And when you look at all of these Democrat leaders, they have embraced internationalism over nationalism, meaning the ideas and principles and priorities of other countries ought to supplant those of the United States. The idea is that America bears a sort of peculiar guilt for what it has done on the world stage.
And therefore it is our job to alleviate that guilt, either through surrender, like Joe Biden in Afghanistan, or like leading from behind, like Barack Obama in the Middle East, or like global redistributionism, which is what AOC would like. European liberals are even more Up and to the left, there are even more internationalists, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer.
These would be people who believe in very, very high levels of government spending, very high levels of government regulation, enormous government involvement in every area of life, and also high levels of internationalism. The idea that Britain doesn't have a national interest, it has international interests. European liberals are like Democrats, except even more so.
So European liberals tend to full-scale embrace quote-unquote democratic socialism. At least Joe Biden would pay occasional lip service to capitalism. You don't see the same thing very much from say Keir Starmer in the UK. And the heavy regulatory state in Europe
