Jonah Goldberg

American conservative commentator — former National Review senior editor — co-founder of The Dispatch — author of Liberal Fascism and Suicide of the West — whose Liberal Fascism was the best-selling conservative political book of 2008.

Creates the progressive fascism historical argument — Goldberg's Liberal Fascism argued (controversially) that fascism's intellectual roots lie in the left-progressive tradition (Wilson, FDR, Mussolini all drawing from the same early 20th century progressive well) rather than in conservatism.
