And is, in fact, a fairly extreme libertarian. Which amounts to zero in term of evidence that he's wrong. About the only similarity is that they both emphasis collective action. That's an enormous similarity, or really more than one because they emphasize collective action in many similar ways. As I said before Obama's pushing a degree of (not the totality of) fascist economics, not all of fascism, since he's not ultra nationalist and not an autocrat. To say that a country like Norway, which is very socialist from our point of view, has much in common with Fascist Italy boggles credibility. "Very socialist from our point of view" is pretty irrelevant considering fascism's similarities with socialism. They are far more similar to each other then either is to a free market democracy. The strongest argument against considering Norway fascist are that its apparent relative lack of extensive ultra-nationalist thought in its ruling parties and policies, not the relative amount of socialism. The article doesn't claim Obama and/or Norway are fascist. What it does do is show that - "Giving support to and then trying to control private corporations, rather than nationalizing them is exactly how the fascists handled it."
