So as somebody who doesn’t know, what exactly is so horrifyingly disqualifying about Dollfuss? From having glanced at the wiki article it seems he tried hard to prevent the incorporation of Austria into Nazi Germany. He cracked down on the Nazi party and was in turn assasinated by Nazis. His was a ‘Christian Social’ party and he was some kind of corporatist (like Roosevelt!). Also he was bad on the whole democracy and open society schtik and abolished it so as to be better able to fight Nazism and Communism (like Lincoln established the imperial presidency, censorship and prisontime without charges to “save the Union”). Is there even reason to believe he was a racist (like there is with Lincoln)?
Just because he was a bad guy from the perspective of consistent Rothbardian Anarchists doesn’t mean some Norwegian pinkos who (chances are) worshipp at the alter of even worse characters (say Obama — the wager of so many wars we lost count) get to stand there in indignation over — the horror, an “Austrofascist”.
