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 …

Conservative groups tend to devolve into loyalty networks that favor membership over skill, then engage in fraud to continue and cover up. Labor specifically recognizes and values specialized skills, it's a source of power in negotiation and social performance.

It's interesting how the arguments for Mussolini not being as racist as Hitler forget to mention the colossal sadistic brutality his forces inflicted in colonial campaigns in Libya and in taking over Abyssinia. The Austrofascists weren't above shelling public housing either.

Mussolini's US admirers weren't just on the right, unfortunately. Gompers saw Fascism as class reconciliation and an antidote to radicalism. Francis Perkins said everyone in FDR's cabinet was given a book written by a fascist theoritician and they all "read it with great care"

Gottfried is also the author of pieces that sought to rehabilitate the reputation of the crown jurist of the third Reich, Carl Schmitt. The embrace of Gottfried was the sign that Telos and Piccone had reached the point of no return.
