Here’s the only thing you actually need to know about Alex Koppelman’s inverview with Doughy Pantload:

[K:] You’ve talked about Mussolini remaining on the left and remaining a socialist, and in your book you’ve got a lot of quotes from the 1920s about that, but I’m wondering — how does that fit in with what he wrote and said later, especially “The Doctrine of Fascism” in 1932?

[DP:]I’d need to know specifically what he wrote in “The Doctrine of Fascism.” It’s been about three years since I’ve read it.

If you don’t know what’s in La Dottrina del Fascismo, you should just go ahead and admit that you’ve never read the fucking thing.

Also, the dumbest book ever now has the dumbest blog ever, which — as the horizon recedes even further — also seems to have the dumbest readers ever.

[Dave Neiwert] seems to think you are less qualified to propound your thesis than, say, a tenured professor of history at some hoo-hah university. I consider that hogwash. I have read your comments and posts for several years now. I may disagree with you (a lot) — but you are every bit as qualified to research the literature and distill it into a book as any professor. I also trust you to have done what you did with diligence and integrity. That’s perhaps the most important reason I’m reading your book.

Yep. A vote for Jonah is a vote for integrity.

I’ll be hanging myself from the rafters now.
