David Horowitz is still a Lefty, Pink, Commie bastard!
According to Doughy Pantload logic, that is.
Roy actually read Liberal Fascism and had this comment:
We get a hint at the problem early on, when Goldberg defines fascism. “Scholars have had so much difficulty explaining what fascism is because various fascisms have been so different from each other,” he says. But he is unwilling to take as a guide such apparently definitive statements as Mussolini’s (”the resolute negation of the doctrine underlying so-called scientific and Marxian socialism”) — even while calling Il Duce “The Father of Fascism” — prefering instead to emphasize Mussolini’s youthful enthusiasms for Marx and socialism, which Goldberg accepts as proof that Marxism, socialism, and fascism are all the same thing — that is, liberalism.
As a perhaps semi-conscious defense of this selective reading, Goldberg notes that “as a pragmatist, [Mussolini] was constantly willing to throw off dogma, theory, and alliances whenever convenient” — yet he doesn’t seem to grasp that this statement cuts both ways; if Mussolini was just conning people when he denounced the Left, why couldn’t he have been conning them when he embraced it?
Catch that? According to Pantload, since Mussolini was a socialist when in his youth, he was also a socialist when he came to power as a fascist and renounced everything socialist.
Ultra-conservative batshit-crazy David Horowitz was a notoriously a member of the radical left in his younger days, so it’s clear that he, like Mussolini, remains a committed communist rather than the batshit-crazy paranoid conservative he manifests so obviously, or rather that Horowitz’s Conservative group and the Young Spartacists are the same thing.
In the way that socialists and liberals are also fascists.

But…”Goldberg notes that “as a pragmatist, [Mussolini] was constantly willing to throw off dogma, theory, and alliances whenever convenient””
Which means Mussolini musta been one fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine actor, since he hornswoggled the entire fucking world.
