Nationalism and militarism. Offshoots, not roots. Fascism compares interestingly with the concepts of Progressivism from the turn of the century. Hitler supported national health care, a "national youth corps", government spending to achieve decreased unemployment, government regulation of businesses, and numerous other liberal programs. FDR's New Deal was appreciated by both Hitler and Mussolini, and Hitler went so far as to write a letter to FDR congratulating him on the New Deal: "The Reich chancellor requests Mr. Dodd to present his greetings to President Roosevelt. He congratulates the president upon his heroic effort in the interest of the American people. The president’s successful struggle against economic distress is being followed by the entire German people with interest and admiration. The Reich chancellor is in accord with the president that the virtues of sense of duty, readiness for sacrifice, and discipline must be the supreme rule of the whole nation. This moral demand, which the president is addressing to every single citizen, is only the quintessence of German philosophy of the state, expressed in the motto “The public weal before the private gain.”" As I said earlier, Leftists who use the term fascism generally don't comprehend its meaning or origin. It is far more a Leftist phenomenon than it is a Rightest one.
