Great book, he even wrote a sequel book called “Anti-fascism: the career of a crusade” about the sort of mission statement of the post WWII world order & how that movement became the enforcement arm of it. The Berlin Wall the “Antifacist rampart” at one point as an example.

Gottfried is one of the FEW (mainstream) historians on the Right who understands that the Left WON the Cold War - he wrote an essay and gave a lecture and the Von Mises institute titled just THAT, ''HOW THE LEFT WON THE COLD WAR''. Its actively censored by GOOGLE and YT.

Just like the old saying goes that “The Soviets lost the Cold War but the communists won it.” The US 1933 onward as a “liberal democracy” was just another strained of the same ruling class in charge of the USSR. Perhaps it was a frozen conflict never meant to be “won”.

The Cold War was fought for REAL. Make no mistake - it wasn't some kind of legerdemain. It was a gang of Trotskyites (and their Lib-Progressive allies) in the USA who later morphed into Globalist hyper-capitalists vs. STALINIST autocrats.

The cold war was fought for real because it was useful for the American left to have a foreign enemy to waste the American right's attention on. The same need existed in the USSR - it also needed an outlet for its naturally right wing men and institutions.

There's GEOSTRATEGIC reasons as well - yes, there's a practical and ideological dimension but great POWER always has a ''vector'' that it tends towards in trajectory. The USA and the USSR would have clashed because great powers CLASH in a bipolar paradigm w/binary conflict dyads

IOW, there's two HEAVILY armed men in a desert. Between them is an object of spectacular wealth. Everyone else present is being held at bay or is unarmed. Those two men aren't indefinitely going to merely ''do nothing'' even if they share a confession and worldview.

That doesn't really fit with the US doing so much to prop up the Soviet Union throughout its history and trying very hard to do things like ensure the communists won the civil war in China. RedGov tried to defend its clients; BlueGov undermined them.https://twitter.com/CovfefeAnon/status/1446164387551645697 …

Tighten it up. My time is valuable to me and explaining to the, ''ITS ALL FAKE" delusionals WHY its clear that the COLD WAR wasn't all a big stage play by the Bilderberg Group is literally the LAST way Ima spend it.

I think the best way to say it is that there was a very real conflict between power blocs, but it wasn't over communism.

It was over communism - just not with *the* USSR on one side and *the* US on the other.
