Is the Minaret of Freedom Institute a syncretic organization combining Islamism and libertarianism? --GCarty 11:33, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd say so but it may not be large enough to merit a mention here. Oftentimes these "institutes" are one guy and a mailbox. I'd advise further research before adding it to the page. Mjk2357 13:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Somewhat POV/controversial on judging the likelihood of association between leninism and fascism

I think that the following passage is somewhat debatable:

the National Bolshevik Party of Russia, formed from the unlikely union of Leninist and Fascist aesthetics.

The french historian Pierre Chaunu said that nazism (easily regarded as fascism) and communism were "heterozygous twins", I believe that Alain Besançon may also share a similar opinion. Adolf Eichmann said that they were "quasi-siblings", and there is quite an amount of mentions of people on the nazi party in favor of socialism (their, german national, but socialism nevertheless), many can be found here in wikipedia. I'll just remove the "unlikely" then. Extremophile 01:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
