	Collins was infatuated with the writings of prominent [[humanists]] of his day, including [[Paul Elmer More]] and [[Irving Babbitt]]. Politically, he moved from left-liberalism in the early 1920s and eventually away from More's and Babbitt's [[Humanism]] to what he called "fascism" by the end of the decade. In the ''American Review'', he sought to develop an American form of fascism and praised Italian dictator [[Benito Mussolini]] and German dictator [[Adolf Hitler]] in an article titled "Monarch as Alternative," which appeared in the first issue in 1933. In that essay, Collins attacked both [[capitalism]] and [[communism]] and heralded the "New Monarch," who would champion the common good over and against the machinations of capitalists and communists. His praise of Hitler was grounded in his belief that Hitler's rise to power that year heralded the end of the communist threat, as is illustrated by this excerpt:		Collins was infatuated with the writings of prominent [[humanists]] of his day, including [[Paul Elmer More]] and [[Irving Babbitt]].

	:"One would gather from the fantastic lack of proportion of our press -- not to say its gullibility and sensationalism -- that the most important aspect of the [[German]] revolution was the hardships suffered by [[~~Jew~~]]s under the new regime. Even if the absurd atrocity stories were all true, the fact would be almost negligible beside an event that shouts aloud in spite of the journalistic silence: the victory of Hitler signifies the end of the Communist threat, ''forever''. Wherever Communism grows strong enough to make a Communist revolution a danger, it will be crushed by a Fascist revolution."		:"One would gather from the fantastic lack of proportion of our press -- not to say its gullibility and sensationalism -- that the most important aspect of the [[German]] revolution was the hardships suffered by [[jew]]s under the new regime.

	In a 1936 interview that he granted to [[Grace Lumpkin]] in the pro-communist periodical ''[[FIGHT against War and Fascism]]'', Collins stated: "I am a fascist. I admire Hitler and Mussolini very much. They have done great things for their countries." When Lumpkin objected to Hitler's persecution of the ~~Jews~~, Collins replied: "It is not persecution. The ~~Jews~~ make trouble. It is necessary to segregate them."

	''The American Review'' ran articles by many leading literary critics of the day, including the [[Southern Agrarians]], who, though hardly fascists, accepted a Northern publisher for their anti-modern essays. Several of them came to regret (and renounce) their relationship with Collins, however, after his political views became better known. One of them, [[Allen Tate]], wrote a rebuttal of fascism for the liberal ''[[The New Republic\|New Republic]]''. Nevertheless, Tate remained in contact with Collins and continued to publish in ''The American Review'' until its demise, in 1937.
