Goldberg takes on an ambitious task: to show that modern American political liberalism, which acknowledges and celebrates its antecedents in the Progressive movement of the early 20th century, shares its philosophical parentage with the fascist movements of the 20th century in Italy and Germany, and by the standards of those movements can and should properly be called and understood as fascist. I believe he succeeds. Goldberg conceived the book in frustration at the current use of the term fascist by the media and liberal politicians to mean simply anything evil and right wing. His research shows that fascism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was in fact a left wing, socialist phenomenon and, whether they know it or not, today’s liberals stand in a philosophical direct line with Mussolini and Hitler through the American Progressive movement which was openly and unapologetically fascist. Goldberg deals at length with consideration of the Progressive movement, of Mussolini’s Fascists and of German National Socialism as three related movements that drew strength and inspiration from each other and held similar principals, techniques and goals; namely of total central control of command economies, complete intolerance for any dissent, virulent opposition to and undermining of traditional religion while replacing it with worship of the state, and a scientific commitment to perfecting and purifying the race and protecting it from contamination by inferior races. He is clear that the level of commitment to these goals varied among the three countries and he does not accuse modern liberals of the extreme belief which resulted in the Holocaust. However, he finds it completely in character that modern liberals would revere the racist, eugenicist, Margaret Sanger, who founded the predecessor of today's Planned Parenthood as a means of controlling the spread of inferior races. Quoting Goldberg on page 273, ”In 1939 Sanger created the… “Negro Project,” which aimed to get blacks to adopt birth control. Through the Birth Control Federation, she hired black ministers (including the Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Sr.), doctors, and other leaders to help pare down the supposedly surplus black population. The project’s racist intent is beyond doubt. “The mass of significant Negroes,” read the project’s report, “still breed carelessly and disastrously, with the result that the increase among Negroes… is [in:] that portion of the population least intelligent and fit.” Sanger’s intent is shocking today, but she recognized its extreme radicalism even then. “We do not want word to go out,” she wrote to a colleague, “that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.’” Astonishingly, Hillary Clinton was honored with the Margaret Sanger award by Planned Parenthood in 2009. Goldberg describes the Nazis’ creepy obsession with wholesome organic food, with fighting cancer, forcing people to stop smoking. The book is not an easy read, but it is worth understanding the history of the early 20th century in this country; and when someone claims the label “Progressive” what it really implies – whether that person knows what they are embracing or not.
