Russell,
Thank you. That was what I was trying to say. The difference between
the socialists, communists, nazis, and facists was similar to the difference
between the folk legends the Repubicrats and the Democans; or in fact even
less.
The author of ROAD TO SERFDOM describes their fights as having been so
full of passion and venom as due to exactly the small difference between
them. The leaders of the parties were trying to attract and hold onto
exactly the same people using the same philosophy and tactics.
