Not Far Right, Far Left

An Italien National Socialist group is paying for babies in this article, titled "Money Offered For Babies Named After Mussolini".

While the offer is sad on so many levels, what really bugged me is the "far right" description of the group. As Jonah Goldberg points out in his excellent book "Liberal Fascism", National Socialists were a LEFT WING group, not a right wing one.

Describing National Socialists "far right" is only done so that liberal leftwingers can both disavow their historic support of Nazi's AND call any and all people conservative or otherwise who disagree with them Nazis.

The more often we clarify this point, then the less often (hopefully) liberals will call folks nazis just for disagreeing with them.
