TR definitely had proto-fascist tendencies, but there's nowhere near enough resentment-based racial populism to push him into NatSoc.

He didn't have much racial resentment because there was no cause for it. If he could see 2017 US he'd make the AR look like Tim Wise.

So you're saying he would be a Nazi in 2017? Hard to process historical counter-factuals, but maybe.

No, I'm saying he'd be a hardcore white nationalist - that is, an altrightist and all its strains.

Applying the word Nazi to someone who doesn't call themselves that is slander (may be not strictly so, but close to 100%)

Sure. But how many antifas would have a big problem with being called that? Not many.

Generally it's pretty unusual when groups object to being called something that describes them well unless it's strictly an insult.

Interesting proposition, but I don't buy it. After socialists rebranded themselves as "liberals" I don't see how anyone can.

Sounds like you take the Rothbardian (rather than the Moldbuggian) interpretation of what liberal means.

"Manchester Liberal" was the last time the word was well-anchored. (Quite a while before Rothbard.)

... The Liberalism I defend is exactly the same one that Marx abominates.
