I just received my copy of Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg today.
pg. 11
..."Even FDR's defenders openly admitted ther admiration of fascism. Rexford Guy Tugwell, an influential member of FDR's Brain Trust, said of Italian Fascism, "It's the cleanest, neatest most efficiently operating piece of social macihinery I've ever seen. It makes me envious."
"We are trying out the econmics of Fascism without having suffered all its social or political ravages." proclaimed the New Republic's
editor Geoge Soule, an enthusiastic supporter of the FDR administration.
