The first fails to either prove it's thesis or, somehow, understand the ethos of liberalism. Very good write-up of the rise of fascism and its causes, though. Overall not a bad article but unconvincing. The second conflates capitalism and liberalism and jumps between one and the other nonsensically, making it essentially all noise. permalink fedilink source parent
