Fascism is absolutely rightwing. Your assertion is hogwash. Hitler, Franco and Mussolini exterminated socialists and liberals, and got into bed with industrialists, the military and the church -- right, righter, rightist. And that's even before we get to their "quaint" racial attitudes, and their appetites for conquest and murder. Nice try!
Your assertion that the rightist ideology equates to individual liberty is ridiculous on many levels. First, "rightists" don't own the concept of liberty: our liberty came to us from Founding Fathers who were a bunch of flaming radicals rebelling against a "rightist" king. Second, in history the worst oppression of mankind and his liberties came at the hands of rightists, from ancient and feudal monarchs to Hitler and Joe McCarthy in modern times. Third, there is abundant evidence that the real philosophy of rightists, laissez-faire deregulation, has led to economic disaster several times in our nation's history.
Glad I could help!

Point of order...
You've a few inaccuracies...
First, Fascism is nothing remotely 'right wing'... it is purely a function of the ideological left.
Second, there is no evidence to even SUGGEST that the rightist ideology of individual liberty has or even could POTENTIALLY lead to economic disaster.
If you'd like to post an argument wherein you can show fascism as exemplifying the ideological right, or where the ideologically right concept of individual liberty could lead to economic disaster... I know that at least I would be love to see it.
