American liberals were considered “left-wingers” who were for bigger
government and sympathetic to socialism, while conservatives were viewed
as “right-wingers” who were “pro-big business” and against the “little
guy” and therefore closet fascists.
These distinctions were misplaced and irrelevant because in the
reality of twentieth century history both “left-wingers” and
“right-wingers” were merely two variations on the same collectivist
theme. Both were devoted to government control of social and economic
life, with only minor institutional differences between them.
Marxian socialists advocated government nationalization and direct
central planning of all production, while Italian fascists and German
Nazis were for comprehensive government regulation and planning of all
property that remained nominally in private hands.
