Says here fascism is far-right ultra-nationalist authoritarianism
The Tea Party is to the right of the Republican Party because they believe in smaller, less powerful government than the Republican Party. The Libertarian Party is to the right of the Tea Party because they believe in smaller, less powerful government than the Tea Party. Sovereign Citizens are to the right of libertarians because they believe that government has absolutely 0 authority/power over them.
Now please explain to the class, in a rational logical way, how fascism (unlimited government power with total control) is to the right of all of that. Take your time. We’re all happy to wait on this one.
Limited government is only one part of the moderate right.
Right wing politics primary characteristic is that social hierarchy is natural/normal/desirable/inevitable. Also known as inequality. associated with competition in market economies.
(I) the reactionary right sought a return to aristocracy and established religion;
(II) the moderate right distrusted intellectuals and sought limited government;
(III) the radical right favored a romantic and aggressive form of nationalism;
(IV) the extreme right proposed anti-immigration policies and implicit racism;
and
(V) the neo-liberal right sought to combine a market economy and economic deregulation with the traditional right-wing beliefs in patriotism, elitism and law and order
Far-right politics are politics further on the right of the left–right spectrum than the standard political right, particularly in terms of extreme nationalism, nativist ideologies, and authoritarian tendencies.
The reason fascism is associated with far-right is that the primary characteristic of fascism is ultranationalism, and typically authoritarianism is associated with this to force this nationalism.
One example is the nazis: they opposed communism and opposed liberalism, and apposed anarchism. All three. Highly authoritarian and fascist, and based on the above, far-right.
