You're not using these political terms correctly. The Democratic party is socially and economically "liberal" in the American understanding, though the international understanding of economic "liberalism" is that it is a capitalist ideology involving expansion of "free trade." Neoliberalism especially so.
False... the terms were used properly... There is NOTHING LIBERAL about the ideological LEFT. The ideological left is the very ANTITHESIS OF LIBERTY; Individual liberty is anathema to the ideologicla left; individual liberty can NOT EXIST within a leftist culture...
Patently FALSE...The majority of "fascists" are not socialists.
Traditional fascists are extremely hostile to socialism, as evidenced by such events as the Spanish Civil War. (Please don't bring up National "Socialism." Any legitimate socialistic elements within the Nazis were destroyed on the Night of Long Knives.)
Oh now isn't that precious... Let's examine the logic here... The Socialists which had been RIGHT THERE with the Fascists, driving towards power, hand in hand, ALL THE WAY, were killed... Right? So the Fascists that killed them weren't socialist... LOL... Everyone got that?
It could NOT BE that the socialist that were killed merely represented a threat to the power which those the socialist that killed them had aquired... NOoooo they had to be killed because 'they were socialists... and 'everyone knows' that fascists HATE Socialists...'
ROFLMNAO... Sweet mother that's hysterical...
A purportedly socialist government can be authoritarian, as evidenced by the Soviet Union, (though they would be better described as state capitalist rather than socialist), but socialism can just as easily be libertarian, (Noam Chomsky is a libertarian socialist, specifically an anarchist), of the variety practiced during the Spanish Revolution.
There isn't a dimes distinction between an authoritarian communist and a anarcho-communist-libertarian (pardon the string of oxymorons folks, but these idiots demand it...) EXCEPT the anarcho-communist-libertarian DOESN'T HAVE ANY POWER... They're impotent idiots projecting flaccid little theories. Give them power and they're instantly transformed into good ole'fashion authoritarian commies who are determined to stop anyone from screwing up yet another perfectly good workers utopia...
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely... and one can't have a leftist culture without absolute power because there will always be those within any given culture, such as myself, who will be standing there prepared to separate the worker from his hardly earned paycheck, giving them what they want, because the leftists are only willing to give them what they are told they NEED.
