Over at the Libertarian Alliance you Sean Gabb has put up some interviews made in 1991 for a documentary about Liberty.
One of the interviews is with Ian Anderson of the National Front. In it, he espouses a very socialist and Marxist view of liberalism. The free market, he states, allows for accumulation of wealth which leads to oppression of the masses by the rich. He trots out many of the same (incorrect) arguments against liberalism that the socialist does.
The only difference I can tell is a focus on ‘racial problems’ and enforced segregation.
Although he claims that he’s not a socialist because he wants power to be ‘given to the British people’ not to the government. However his focus on enforcing particular solutions (collective ownership by the workers) is distinctly socialist in the broader sense.
I think this really does show that National Socialism, is not simply a form of fascism, its also a form of socialism.
The scariest thing for me is that if you took away the context of Nationalism and the National Front, much of it would be agreed upon by many Liberal Democrats.
