Well, folks, I think most of us realize that Dillwinkel is absolutely incorrect about fascism.  A deep study of history reveals that fascism is the most extreme expression of right wing ideology.  It is communism that is the most extreme expression of left wing ideology.  The unschooled often mix these two up.  Right wingers like to misuse the word "fascist" in order to deflect from the truly fascist views on the extreme right.
