"Republican Communists: The Mysterious Past of the Right from Marx to Ann Althouse"

Michael at Unfogged has come up with the perfect response book to Goldberg's Liberal Fascism "Republican Communists: The Mysterious Past of the Right from Marx to Ann Althouse". This book needs to be written, so I am starting to collect good arguments for it. Here is what I have so far:

Marx favored government control of the economy, and in the USSR this sort of government control was used to benefit the narrow elite. Republicans have always used big government to benefit their cronies. (Deficits have gone up under every republican since Regan, etc). Therefore Republicans are communists. QED

Marx was relentelessly pro-industrialism and anti environmental. Republicans are relentlessly pro-industrialism and anti-environmental. So Republicans are communists. QED.

Marxism has strong anti-semitic tendencies, yet as been attractive to a lot of Jews. The Republican party has strong anti-semitic tendencies, and yet is attractive to a lot of Jews. So Republicans are communists. QED.

Further submissions welcome.
