On the other side of the political spectrum, there are disturbing similarities between communism and various newly popular extreme right-wing nationalist movements. Both combine authoritarian tendencies with disdain for liberal values and a desire to extend government control over large parts of the economy.

He also links to this anti alt-right book if anyone's curious: https://www.amazon.com/Right-Wing-Collectivism-Other-Threat-Liberty/dp/157246299X/
