Welcome to the Eric Matexas show with your host, Eric Matexas.

Hey there folks, did you want to know what fascism was?

Have you ever asked what is fascism?

Well, there's a book.

It's called Fascism, the career of a concept written by Paul Gottfried.

Did you want to know what Antifa was?

What is anti-fascism as they call it?

Well, I believe Antifa or anti-fascism is in fact fascism.

And Paul Gottfried has written a book titled Antifa-sism, the course of a crusade.

Who is Paul Gottfried?

You wonder, I'll tell you.

First of all, he's my guest for this hour.

He is the editor of Chronicles. Some of you know that, journal.

He's an American paleo-conservative, philosopher, historian, columnist.

He's a former Horus Raffin's burger professor of humanities at Elizabeth Town College

in Elizabeth Town, Pennsylvania, as well as a Guggenheim recipient.

Wow, Dr. Gottfried, welcome to this program.

Thank you for having me on.

Well, it's a joy to have you on and to talk about your new book, Anti-Fascism.

You had to be aware that there's something funny about the idea that you've written a book

called Fascism, the career of a concept followed by anti-fascism, the course of a crusade.

Tell us about that.
