Q: How are Nazi's, fascists, and socialists all the same?

A: the Nazi's and Fascits "competed for the support of the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. But their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common and whom they could not hope to convince, is the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist, and to the communist the nazi and to both the socialist, are potential recruits who are made of the right timber, although they have listend to false prophets, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom"(Hayek 34) this implies that while they claim that they are different, all three of these groups dont really promote individual freedom, and that they view each other as 'the right timber', which could mean that they all basically think along the same lines.
