What is "Liberal Fascism"?

  I have read the book "Liberal Fascism" to the end just now. It has not been translated into Japanese (my first language)yet,so it took three weeks to finish to read.
"Left" seems to lose it's influence on young people among the developed countries. It's is becoming to be only for the old generation(New Left). Otherwise still now,it seems  to spread progressive images over the societies through mass communication.
The author "Liberal Fascism"will unleash such the control of liberals. But What shall we become after that? Al-Qaeda ,Aum ? Of course,No, is it? I will comment more another time.

Changing Images of America after a dicade.

My view to America would change every ten year. I am not an expert about America, and also haven't visited there. My assumption about America depends on only a few source. I list three examples for this  20 years as follows.
 1 The book "The End of the History and the Last Man(F.Fukuyama)
 2 I met one American girl by chance.
 3 The book "Liberal Fascism(Jonah Goldberg)"

 1, This book was rather "liberal"and I read it at 1991. I thought American society would recover self-confidence. This book told me that  "America is most progressive and the goal of the world history."
 2 Though she was neat, I felt something bad omen about American society.I would not explain it well to the others. It was something mysterious.Soon later, 9.11 incident occurred.
3 This book astonished me. Will American go back to 18th century? This author goes beyond my image of America. The book"Liberal Fascism" is an American Apocalypse for me.

What was Playmate?

Many magazines have already disappeared. Pin-up magazines may not survive all over the world. I recently founded Playboy(Japanese edition)disappeared from book stores. I have even forgot it, though my acquaintance wrote some articles for it(Japanese edition).

 I worked at publisher in the past, and Playboy came already to be old fashioned in Japan. Playmates were so cute but they were different from "race"in Japan. It was the very high wall of race and taste. At the first, it sold well, but Japanese men lost interest soon. Especially young adult didn't buy it.

 On the other hand, Marilin Monroe (ex-Playmate) is popular in Japan until now. Many people are watching her movie. Actuary it is very subtle how difference there is between to get popularity and to miss it.
 
 I have read the News about "selling of Playboy publishing "just now. Zeitguist will change.

Liberal Fascism in Japan

Mr.Goldberg don't write about Japanese fascism in his book"Liberal Fascism". But, F.D.R declare the war against Japan as "Battle for Democracy against Fascism". He might understand nothing about Japanese history,although he know about Hitler and Mussolini very well.
  Fascism is associated with a dictatorship commonly, But Japanese Emperor was not a dictator at that time. America resigned to accuse emperor after the war after all. Depending on scholars of Japanese history, Japanese fascism was military fascism. Before the War, socialism was growing in Japan too, lefties claimed for various social rights. But Greater Easter Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere(大東亜共栄圏dai-to- a- kyoeiken)replaced socialism soon later. It is regarded as Fascism.
 American Liberal Fascists had no interest in Japan, so it is natural for Goldberg to omit Japanese Fascism.  Fascism may be "Fascism stemmed from European culture" I assume. Japanese Fascists would be "Europeanized intellectuals". and they often admired farm. By the way ,Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto(山本　五十六　planner of Pearl Harbor Attack  ）graduated from Harvard Univ. and ironically he was the most Americanized person in Japan. At that time, Military officers were educated in a westernized way. Both Fascism and Liberalism were "Europeanism"for Japanese.
After the war, occupied Japan was rebuilded under the"Liberal Fascist"of America.(American planners of occupied Japan were mainly "New Dealer Democrat"Especially Deweyan was famous in education system reformation) Modern Japanese Left often depends on this American Liberal Fascists policy until now.
  

Kudzu New Deal

  There is a long history of people's life with Kudzu green in Japan. The nature of Japan is almost jungle differently from other areas in East Asia. Kudzu is such a representaion as a Japanese nature. Japanese Imperial Army was also tough in Jungle battle.
By the way, It is so dreadful that such Kudzu is covering over the south in America. In Japan, Kudzu must be cut as soon as to find it.
 Why is Such Kudzu growing in the south in America? The Answer is "F.D.R are responsible for this disaster."Depending on Wikipedia, The Civilian Conservation Corps was established by F.D.R, and Kudzu was planted around on the ruining land by it's activity.
 This was "Green New Deal" in the past .and Now it become "Kudzu New Deal."

Thus Spoke Feudalist

I have read "Liberal Fascism" a half just now.That remind me of one modern Japanese critic "Tomofusa Kure"(呉　智英）.(My first language is not English.)   Thanks to Kure's work, I can managed to understand Author Goldberg's ironical lines .Well, Kure has a notable critics "Thus spoke Feudalist". He declare to battle against Democracy as a feudalist and assault it."Democracy is a Stupid justice. Democracy is a Fascism itself."He is a denial of Japanese modernization. so to speak, it is a premodern rebel. Depending on his definition, Fascism is equal to a democracy and modernism. He is a ex-New Left, and expose perverted minds of the New Left. and He insists "Only Feudalist have battled against Fascism." I don't always agree with his idea, but his writings are very fine. He is very familiar with chinese classics and Bible and comics.

"You have to doubt French Revolution's authenticity."This thesis is a common question that both Goldberg and Kure have. Mr.Goldberg may be also a premodern traitor against modern age.
