Sixty years ago Hayek in The Road to Serfdom had already made the connection. He quoted Peter Drucker: "Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion." Communists and fascists, Hayek continues, "compete for the same type of mind and reserve for each other the hatred of the heretic."
eire
n.Air. [Obs.] Chaucer.
Eire
IN BRIEF: n. - A republic consisting of 26 of 32 counties comprising the island of Ireland.
Éire formally withdrew from the British Commonwealth and became the Republic of Ireland sixty years ago today. Europe's third largest island, Ireland was controlled by Great Britain — the island located east of Ireland — for many centuries, finally becoming a part of the United Kingdom in 1801. In 1922, after a War of Independence, Ireland was split into two: the Irish Free State, which would have dominion status in the Commonwealth, and Northern Ireland, which chose to rejoin the United Kingdom. Fifteen years later, in 1937, the nation took the next step in its independence declaring itself the sovereign state of Éire.
