There are relatively few individuals today who would proudly call themselves a fascist. This of course was not always so, for before and during the 1930’s, the term had nowhere near the stigma that it does today, and many embraced concepts of fascism.

One individual who embraced the ideas of both fascism and progressive 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, supposedly for the good of mankind.

It is evident in reading Wells’ books the uncanny accuracy in discussion of modern trends which have been fulfilled until our time.
