Hanson is worthy of praise as one of the very few intellectuals on the side of Trump and the Patriot/Right. However, his intellectualism (and some marginal White Guilt) blocks him from an important point: It really is one side against the other, and while we on the Patriot/Right must police our own (which we did in WW2), there isn't the "equal relationship" between them the title and conclusion might suggest.
He starts out by pointing out "bankrupt ideologies" on both sides (USSR and Nazi Germany), but then gives a string of Leftwing ideological inconsistencies. Not one example beyond Nazism where the Right's excesses cause "the shelves (to be) empty, the currency becomes worthless, and the nation regresses into poverty and chaos" or something comparable. (And he has openly shown he knows and uses the political science definition of the Left-Right spectrum, and at which end Nazi Germany goes. Sorry, TEA Party-types, it's in the dictionary.)
Hanson here points out the dangers of putting ideology before reality, regardless of which side presents them (remember that, libertarians). Yet he can't bring himself to acknowledge that one side is FAR more guilty than the other at destroying civilizations.
And something else Hanson misses: "Freedom" is an ideology that can go bankrupt as well.
