15. He is writing about the political right that actually holds political power. Yes, one can
make and should make a distinction between the extreme right-wing neo-fascist organizations and the more traditional conservative parties and leaders in Europe that run governments, don't ya think? That's hardly whitewashing the neo-fascist movements you describe. They are not merely conservatives like those that hold power.

And we should make the same distinctions in the United States.

Do you want to mix and jumble them all up and call it a mass Nazis/fascist movement that is running major nations in Europe and ran the United States when Ronald Reagan and the Bushes were President?

That's rather simplistic and doesn't really explain or clarify anything about Nazism and fascism, does it?

But, if you want to run around screaming fascist at every conseervative in the United States or Europe you may.
