"[Mussolini] organized each trade or industrial group or professional group into a state-supervised trade association. He called it a corporative. These corporatives operated under state supervision and could plan production, quality, prices, distribution, labor standards, etc. The NRA provided that in America each industry should be organized into a federally supervised trade association. It was not called a corporative. It was called a Code Authority. But it was essentially the same thing. These code authorities could regulate production, quantities, qualities, prices, distribution methods, etc., under the supervision of the NRA. This was fascism. The anti-trust laws forbade such organizations. Roosevelt had denounced Hoover for not enforcing these laws sufficiently. Now he suspended them and compelled men to combine." — John Flynn, The Roosevelt Myth
Apparently you. Kristol and his other friends were pro-New Deal before they got "mugged by reality."
If that made them neo-fascists, what was the New Deal's great leader, FDR?
Fascism (and its neo- variant) are terms that critcs sling around to describe people of other ideological persuasions they don't like.
