CB: But bite your tongue and don't use the F-word prematurely Yoshie Furuhashi:
But the opposite of liberalism is illiberalism not fascism. Fascism is merely one variant of illiberalism, and so is Marxism. That is why many Marxists' tacit embrace of liberalism is unconvincing, for liberalism functions there as an ill-adapted prosthetic. ^^^^ CB; Marxism is the negation of the negation of liberalism. Fascism is a degeneration of liberalism. On the other hand, Marxism does not utterly disdain the struggle for reforms of capitalism. Premature anti-fascism is a preemptive reform of capitalism. In this struggle, in 2007 in the U.S., Marxists should use the term "fascism" liberally. In that preemptive reform, there might even be a little revolutionary kick.
