Here's another revisionist desperately trying to play "mirror image" with the political spectrum.
It's kind of sad that y'all think that's ever going to work.
Petty_Peasant You'll notice that leftists like this guy say I'm wrong, but can't actually produce an argument to demonstrate how I'm wrong. Some leftist, academic put in a dictionary that fascism is "right-wing" and that's what folks like
Pogo rely on.
Every fascist regime that has ever existed REJECTED free-market capitalism in favor of a government-managed economy. The first tent of the modern right IS
free-market capitalism and the rejection of over-regulation by government. Fascism demands endless and massive government regulations over business and so does the modern Democrat. Fascism demands federal control of healthcare and education and so does the modern Democrat. Fascism opposes free-market capitalism and so does many modern Democrats, particularly folks like Bernie and AOC, darlings of the Democratic Party.
You can't make the argument because there is no argument. Fascism is left-wing ideology at the extreme.
"Rejection of free market capitalism" does not make for right wing; it makes for anti-Liberal. Which the fascists certainly were. Clearly you have no clue where you're going with this neo-revisionism thing, which, if there were a place to go with it, would have been gone to long before our time. We kind of already figured out you were wandering aimlessly into this PoliSci forest when you tried to equate the Democratic Party with "the left". Fascism was/is utterly opposed to Liberalism, Socialism and Communism. The Socialists and Communists of 1920s-'30s Germany were in fact Hitler's primary points of opposition, which he immediately set out to undermine with the SS ("Brownshirts"), declaring the Socialist Party illegal, and making them the first wave of "guests" at the first concentration camp, Dachau.
What makes fascism right-wing is its ideals of striated classes with a supreme ruling class; hypernationalism; elevation of the State über alles; its jingoistic appeals to bring back some "glorious" past (e.g. Roman Empire, e.g. Prussia), usually (but not always, see Franco in Spain) leading to some massive conquest; its authoritarian bent in general including the hypertraditonal relegation of women to "Kinder, Kirche, Kuche". It's especially strong on religion, nationalism, militarism, machismo, class designations, anything that serves to subjugate the masses to the will of its designated Authority. Fascism is where authoritarian paternalism supplants social
fraternalism.
And it need not be a government; for an example see "Ku Klux Klan", who were practicing fascism before the term was invented.
