Dr. Pipes' "Fascism's Legacy: Liberalism" pegs them.

So, we come full circle, from American "Progressives" to Nazis and Fascists to modern "Liberals," i.e., the "Neo Marxist Left." who may not intend to harm, but cannot help it, given their propensity to be ever wrong about everything important.

And so, I wonder at Dr. Pipes choice of "Right Wing" to describe the Neo-Nazis, when it is obvious that he knows perfectly well they are of the Left. Perhaps he is just choosing to state the problem in terms the Left can understand? Since I know he's one of the sane ones, there must be a perfectly good reason for using that term in this circumstance, though I haven't a clue what it is.

Also, "Topnife's" succinct asessment is quite correct, as well.
