    According to wikipedia:

    Carl Schmitt[a] (11 July 1888 – 7 April 1985) was a German jurist and political theorist who wrote about the effective wielding of political power. He was an authoritarian conservative theorist,[4] noted as a reactionary critic of parliamentary democracy, liberalism, and cosmopolitanism[5] in works of political theory, legal theory, Continental philosophy, and political theology, which were controversial because Schmitt gave much intellectual support to Nazism.[6]

    Although he may have been a reactionary, authoritarians on the left should unite with authoritarians on the right to fight against British and American imperialism. My dream for the twenty-first century is that their political leaders can affectionately call each other communists and fascists, but still work together despite their differences to get the important work done.
