To a libertarian like Higgs, they’re subtle variations on the same tyrannical theme, so I suspect he wants to conflate them for an audience that prefers to see them as opposites.

This analysis therefore confuses more than it clarifies. His description of the system isn’t bad, but he misses one of the system’s most salient features — it is leftist and moreso all the time.

Calling it fascism therefore just confuses everything.
