Please try to understand what I posted earlier - this has nothing whasoever to do with what I or anyone else wants. History does not work that way. It is not for each of us to decide for ouselves what we think fascism is. History had determined what fascism is from about 1945.
As I explained in the thread, and which it seems you did not actually read, small government as a concept did not exist in 1939. Hence, we cannot say that X had a large state apparatus and was thus left wing, because ALL governments in that era were massive, bureaucratic structures.
This does not ignore the political spectrum - this IS the political spectrum.
