Republibertariangoodguys suggest reading Ron Paul for all Americans.

So what?

There is a reason we don't (or at least shouldn't) base our opinions of people on what other people say about them, but more on what the actual people do. A fascist party giving their support to a candidate doesn't automatically make that candidate a fascist.

But Ron Paul is the opposite of a fascist....?

Me think American right wing gets dumber and dumber every day.

They are opposite only when it comes to authority. Libertarians claim to hate authority and Fascists openly love and even abuse it.

As far as economic stance, Libertarians and Fascists are in typical agreement.

From Wikipedia - Economics of fascism:

An inherent aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigisme, meaning an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence, and effectively controls production and allocation of resources. In general, apart from the nationalizations of some industries, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state.

Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest.

Stanley Payne argues that while fascist movements defended the principle of private property, which they held "inherent to the freedom and spontaneity of the individual personality", a common aim of all fascist movements was elimination of the autonomy or, in some cases, the existence of large-scale capitalism.

Bolding mine to highlight just three examples of how fascist economies and Libertarian economies are completely and utterly different. There are plenty of others of course, but let's start with these...

I await your response.

Of course Adrian the one problem you have there is that there are no libertarian economies.

It is like you are comparing the US army to an army of elves and demons and saying "See!!!"

I grant you that politics has gotten to be a more and more disreputable game but some pretense should be made to staying within the realm of reality.

As far as this announcement goes... it's probably some Koch Brothers front group who are looking to discredit Paul even more. For the republican base you don't have to make things too complicated....

"Ooh....Paul liked by fascists. Me not fascist....Me American. Vote for Bachmann."

[Tiberius]

No, but there are Libertarian economic policies. These are easy to find online, and can be easily shown to be incompatible with fascist economic policies...

We compare policies all the time; every election each party releases a manifesto which contains economic policies, and people base their votes on the policies which they would most like to see implemented. You don't have to have a physical economy in order to understand what the basic economic policies of Libertarianism are, since Libertarianism is a well understood political theory that has developed over a number of years.

I kind of gave this site a sideways look as well. But in the end I decided it was more than likely legit.

One thing (and perhaps the only thing) I like about these fascist sites is that they usually have some wicked looking pins and rings and stuff on their shop page. I always thought the Nazi eagle was cool looking. The SS uniforms are also pretty bad ass. As much as the Nazi's were a bunch of assholes, they definitely had style and new how to decorate.

The American Fascist Movement (having absolutely NOTHING to do with the historic Nazi party) has encouraged their members, and all of America, to study former Libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul and consider him for the 2012 Elections:

And Fred Phelps is a registered Democrat and former candidate who supports progressive economic policies... So what?
