To paraphrase, it is practically impossible for me to believe what the previous commenter has written. After all, he considers Bryan Caplan's terrible essay on the Spanish Anarchists as an "excellent demonstration"! For a critique of Caplan, and other nonsense by the propertarian right, click here

Obviously our commenter is a propertarian, as can be seen by his comment that fascism is "almost identical to that of mainstream Marxism"!

Not to mention that he disassociated capitalism with fascism, suggesting that it "has nothing to do with fascism outside of the Marxian mythos." Except, of course, capitalists, landlords and other owners of property happily supported fascism to break the socialist movement (including anarchism, of course). Thus we find propertarian guru von Mises proclaiming:

"[It] cannot be denied that Fascism and similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions and that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilisation. The merit that Fascism has thereby won for itself will live eternally in history."

Opps!

"Instead, during the 1980s, it was virtually impossible to get a respectful hearing once one demonstrated any admiration for the likes of Reagan or Thatcher."

Ah, right, "freedom of speech" means shutting up when propertarians talk nonsense or support the cutting edge of the capitalist assault on working class living standards and organisation!

I do sense a bit of projection going on he Moore is proclaimed to be a "Left Fascist" (surely, from the commentators perspective, a fascist is a "right socialist" as socialism came first?). Suffice to say, expressing admiration for the Thatcher regime which centralised state power and eroded basic civil liberties significantly shows how interested in freedom DC actually is...
