Lucky guess, or prescient? H.L. Mencken writing in 1938:
Fascism is not likely to be identical with the kinds on tap in Germany, Italy and Russia; indeed it is very apt to come in under the name of anti-Fascism.

In other words, his preferred “kind of fascism” is a special kind of fascism that only he knows about.
