By any intellectually honest measure, the deadliest force of the 20th century was not fascism (a specifically Italian movement) and its variants (including Godwin’s favorite), but big-C Communism and its third world tributaries. Presumably we are to be more troubled by a largely extinct ideology which dare not speak its name than we are a robust and resurgent leftist totalitarianism, adherence to which is de rigueur on the 21st-century campus.
