If a book claims that water is dry and that grass is pink, do I need to engage with the subtleties of its argument? Godlberg's claim is based on the American superstitions about "collectivism", as if all political activity were not collective. I may in time deal with that rubbish, but the statement that FAscism has more in common with Socialism than with nationalism and extreme conservatism is a creepy joke whose popularity among the American right only shows that they are completely isolated from the real world. I have paid this crap far too much respect, and that is because I was so furious at feeling his paws all over my own past and my own memories. The proper response to this kind of book is to throw it across the room, or into the recycling bin - or just to laugh and laugh and laugh. It has all the credibility and intellectual seriousness of the Flat Earth Society or of the average creationist. Have I made my point clear enough? It is not something that deserves debate, but the document of a weird and cultish mindset that can deny the obvious. Have I made my point clear enough now?
