"Proto-fascism refers to the direct predecessor ideologies and cultural movements that influenced and formed the basis of fascism. ... Other people who have been labeled proto-fascist because they shared an ideological basis with fascism include: Charles Maurras (1868–1952)" [Voat Library Service]
Upvoated because you used an archive. Knew is was a jewish writer when I read the start of it, "More than 60 years ago, the sudden and palpable fear that the Soviet Union was lurching ahead of us shook America out of a postwar complacency". Which should read "70 years ago the US government shook out of their complacency when it learned that it was riddled with over 20,000 employees that were huge traitorous security risks, mostly jews, who reported, worked or sympathized with the communist government of the USSR but were rooted out by the McCarthy hearings and either fired or quit government employ. They executed (See Ethyl and Julius were spies had it coming) or imprisoned a few as well. "
