Hayek taught us that there wasn't a dimes worth of difference between the radical left and the radical right -- both were statists and both were enemies of true liberalism. Here is Mussolini's original socialist/facist slogan:

"Everything inside the state, nothing outside the state."

And here is MECHa's variation on that slogan:

"For the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing".

The Mussolini quote was found in Joshua Muravchik's book Heaven on Earth, by a reader of Instapundit. Muravchik hosted a Hayek-L seminar on his book last October.
