Anywho... so you advanced an innocent query to determine the authority of Goldberg. I advance the theory that this query is a last desperate attempt to distract from Goldberg's argument and your chosen means was to cast doubts on his authority... that you were running a multifaceted fallacious attack of the person bringing the argument, through an appeal to authority; in this case appealing to the projected authority of those that support you... and then pointed out that Goldberg was an AUTHOR on this subject and that as a general rule, AUTHORS were considered AUTHORITIES on their relevant subjects...


But... alas... you've run to deny it... and in doing so you prove my point by rejecting the authority of an author.


Goldberg doesn't even attempt to indict you people as little Eichmanns... he merely points out the indisputable history of Fascism and that this history is leftwing from soup to liberal. To which all you've managed to bring in contest of that is Mussolini didn't gut Italian industry by "cleansing" the culture of the bourgeois capitalists... as Rousseau did in the Terror following the French Revolution and as Lenin did following the Bolshevik uprising; and as Stalin did in the passing of Lenin, only the Bourgeois then were just socialists that were not crazy about his new job as Supreme Soviet... And as Mao did when he was voted most likely to murder 100 million Chinese Socialists who just wouldn't LISTEN!

So Mussolini MUST BE A RIGHT WINGER...

This despite the indisputable fact that Mussolini was a vociferous socialist his entire life, leading the Italian Socialist movement for over 25 years and was the equivalent of an Socialist Rock-star for most of the early 20th century, whereupon shortly thereafter he became a Fascist Rock-star... As Editor of Avanti! Mussolini was an even more widely known leftwing version of Rush Limbaugh in his day... all you can bring is 'Mussolini didn't run the Catholic Church out of the Italy, like Lenin, Stalin, Mao and the other socialists did...' and wouldn't let the Socialist vote... SO HE MUST HAVE BEEN A RIGHT WINGER...


It doesn't matter WHO Goldberg is... what matter is WHAT Goldberg said.

Now I hope you don't think ill of me by my pointing out that HAD YOU FOUND A VALID CONTEST OF WHAT GOLDBERG SAID<<< YOU WOULDN'T NOW BE INTERESTED IN WHO HE IS...

Revisionism is a sickness. Take some medication for it.

If it's not you then you should change your screen name because "dogpile" has a "J Goldberg" using it and there are plenty of posts using your screen name as far back as 2006 on this subject on other sites.
