Contemporzry Polifical Ideologies, states: Nazism and Fascism; the Totalitarian Right.
Another load of horseshit authored by a pinko professor. You can't prove your claim by citing an authority. That's ma logical fallacy.
It's amazing that leftists, who hate everything about America so much, have such an America-centric worldview. They hear "right-wing" and automatically assume it's the
American right, because obviously the rest of the world is just like America (except better), isn't it?
There actually is no European analogue to the American right-wing. When the Nazis are described as "the right", it refers to the European right, which is nothing like ours.
Of course, these are the same people who extolled Osama bin Laden's popularity in the Middle East by saying he opened daycare centers. Not exactly clued in to viewpoints and attitudes outside the US.
I don't think so.
Right wing has always existed, way before the US existed, and has always meant the wealthy elite.
This not only goes back to the American Revolution, where Alexander Hamilton represented the banks and wealthy elite, but to the whole European aristocracy, and goes back to Roman imperialism and colonialism.
The US right wing is basically identical the European rights wing, and even the Roman right wing.
The only difference is that the left wing can no longer be summarily executed by the right wing.
As far as Osama bin Laden, the US has angered a lot of people with our imperialism and colonialism, and those people are right to sympathize with Osama bin Laden to a degree. The US is doing a lot of bad things, especially in the Mideast.
