      Jeet Heer Retweeted The American Conservative

      1. This tweet and the accompanying article got a lot of attention when it came out, but we should be clear that they are merely stating a long held orthodoxy on American right: that some forms of fascism are benign & preferable to anti-fascism.https://twitter.com/amconmag/status/1462118546205466629 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      The American ConservativeVerified account @amconmag
      NEW: "The antifascist left smears their 'fascist' opponents with the Nazi and anti-Semitic label. However, fascism and Nazism are not identical." https://buff.ly/3Dwj4NU

      2. I'd say going back to 1930s (or perhaps 1930s) the dominant mode of conservative thought has been that figures like Mussolini & Franco are useful bulwarks against working class militancy & anti-fascism (because it involves an alliance with left) is itself dangerous.

      3. Philio-fascism or fascist fellow travelling is pervasive on right and was especially strong from circa 1935-1975. It went into slight abeyance with rise of "human rights" & pro-democracy talk as anti-communist tool, but has come back with vigor in last 10 years.

      4. A few examples:: Ludwig von Mises, 1927: "It cannot be denied that Fascism & similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions & that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilization."

      5. Von Mises continued: "The merit that Fascism has thereby won for itself will live on eternally in history." National Review 1975 in obituary: “Francisco Franco was our century’s most successful ruler.”

      6. My favorite of the conservative fascist apologia is Jeffrey Hart's Mussolini paean (warning, uses n-word). "Mussolini liked to interrupt his working day several times with sexual intercourse, often standing up and in his uniform, a very rapid performance."pic.twitter.com/IUjpSbN5C1

          Laura Fermi's biography of Mussolini mentions Churchill's praise in the early 1920s. As a person of Irish descent, it seems to me quite appropriate that Mussolini and Churchill were in the same camp.
