“The end of all intelligent analysis is to clear the way for synthesis.” - H.G. Wells

There are relatively few individuals today who would not take offense to being called a fascist. This was not always so, for before and during the 1930’s even though Western societies in general rejected philosophies of fascism, the term had nowhere near the stigma that it does today, and many were drawn to its “progressive” concepts.

During that time, one individual who embraced the ideas of both fascism and liberalism was HG Wells. Before Hitler and Mussolini brought infamy to the term fascism, Wells had referred to himself as a “liberal fascist” and put forward a theory of revolutionary praxis centered around a concept he described as “liberal fascism.”

The end result envisioned was a group of authoritarian elitists ruling over a global liberal utopia, a benevolent oligarchy for the “good” of mankind.
