As We Go Marching is John T. Flynn's classic work from 1944 on how wartime planning brought fascism to America. Flynn was a prominent journalist and the rare case of an American public intellectual who resisted the onslaught of both the warfare and welfare states during the period in which FDR ruled America. This study links the domestic policy of the New Deal with the drive for war and wartime central planning. Flynn draws attention to the bitter irony that America was becoming precisely what we were fighting. His analysis of fascism is incisive and devastating.

As We Go Marching LvMI eBook John T Flynn
As WWII approached there was a small group of writers of a libertarian and conservative persuasion. This author was concerned about fascism developing in America as a result of big government, particularly with the run up to the war. I read it because it was classified as an important book if you are interested in the authors in the years before the modem libertarian movement developed. It was not an easy read. If you are interested in political and economic philosophy it is an interesting book with an important message.Product details

This book gives the loyal opposition view that is always missing in our history books.
absolutly perfec picture of the fashizem and nacizem, the mirror of the curent economic and political situations in the EU and US, must reading for all students of political studies.
John Flynn wrote this book while WWII was still raging. In it he foretold of the coming Military Industrial Complex. 'Nuff said...
A highly intelligent observer who saw the threat that the New Deal posed to traditional America.
Flynn writes well; the principles are illustrated clearly and succinctly. Everything he's pointed out is every bit as relevent now as it was 100 years ago.
"As We Go Marching" is a three-part examination of fascism in Italy (part 1) and Germany (part 2). Part 3 ties things together with an examination of Franklin D. Roosevelt's so-called "New Deal."
The book covers periods from the mid-1800's, the time of the respective unification of Italy and Germany, to mid-WWII. Briefly, neither Mussolini nor Hitler laid the foundations, let alone invented, the social-government systems that supported their regimes. Both systems of fascism, Italian and German, had roots in the early days of industrialization, with deep and powerful roots in the concept of syndicalism. Mr. Flynn opines that, absent certain events related to The Great War, neither Mussolini nor Hitler would ever have amounted to much more than minor political nuisances; but that someone else could very well have held power and governed via fascism through pre-existing government institutions. (eg, imagine a German Chancellor without the anti-semitism but still with the militarism.)
The third part of "Marching" concerns the intellectual and systemic relationships between Italian and German fascism, and FDR's New Deals (there were at least three of them). Although the reader will learn a lot of Italian and German hisotry, the entire book concerns what FDR was doing to the United States in the 1930's. Mr. Flynn's view is through a lens of what had happened in Italy and Germany.
In 1944, some critics called Mr. Flynn's publication of "Marching" treasonous. But I doubt they read the book before doing so. Mr. Flynn was labeled, in his day, as a "Roosevelt-hater," and summarily dismissed in polite company of the time. Many people worked overtime to discredit him and his books. But to this modern reader, Mr. Flynn offers a historical and logical, well written and consistent study of fascism, with a disturbingly accurate critique of FDR and his programs.
You will gain additional perspective by reading Mr. Flynn's "The Roosevelt Myth" (1948/rev 1956). This latter book utterly demolishes FDR and his four terms of office, like a fast freight train hitting a stalled pickup truck. "The Roosevelt Myth" should be required reading in every US history course. No, that is not quite right. What I really mean is that the legend of FDR the Great President and Wartime Leader cannot co-exist in any universe in which a single copy of "The Roosevelt Myth" remains unburned.
John T. Flynn -- a forgotten master from a different era.
