Il Duce defined it, and he should know he created it, long ago. As marriage between the state and corporations.
“Everything within the state, Nothing before the state, Nothing outside the state.”

Please please please pretty please show me where I went wrong believing that Fascism is left wing Government Uber Alles

Fasicsm is harder to describe than most other ideologies.

But it is nothing without nationalism. Nationalism is central to fascism. It can’t exist without it.

Are left wingers nationalists?

Did he actually define the term fascism? Offered up a definition?

Total government control with the government being comprised of one ideology. No independent private clubs or groups can exist. No room for democracy or rule of law the government decides all things. Examples - Mainland China, Alot of African nations. History has shown Communism always becomes Fascism in time.

While I had a decent education at public school in the Bronx, one thing I "learned" was that Fascism is a "right-wing" philosophy. Meaning Nationalism, belief in Jesus and other stuff that seems vague to me now

What does it mean to you? Why?

Unlimited choices and as always feel free to name your own

Far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist, dictatorial, militaristic, forcibly suppressing the opposition. A centralized autocracy woven around a "chosen one", in this case one dOnald J (the j stands for jenius) tRump.

AKA "MAGA".

"When Benito Mussolini debuted the Fasci Italiani di Combattimento, the precursor to his fascist party, on Mar. 23, 1919, in Milan, he wasn’t inventing the idea of violent authoritarianism. But he put a name on a new and terrible breed of it. Under his leadership, squads of militants attacked, beat and killed fellow Italians; later, once he had become the authoritarian ruler of Italy, he oversaw brutality in Ethiopia, an alliance with Hitler and the persecution of Italy’s Jewish population and others, among other crimes."

The Fasci Italiani di Combattimento (English: "Italian Fasces of Combat", also translatable as "Italian Fighting Bands" or "Italian Fighting Leagues"[19]) was an Italian fascist organisation created by Benito Mussolini in 1919.[20] It was the successor of the Fasci d'Azione Rivoluzionaria, being notably further right than its predecessor. The Fasci Italiani di Combattimento was reorganised into the National Fascist Party in 1921.
The Fasci Italiani di Combattimento was founded by Mussolini and his supporters in the aftermath of World War I, at a meeting held in Milan in March 1919.[21] It was an ultranationalist organisation that intended to appeal to war veterans from across the political spectrum, at first without a clear political orientation.[22] It was closely associated with Mussolini's newspaper, Il Popolo d'Italia, and Mussolini served as the leader (Duce) of the movement throughout its existence.
After a very poor result in the Italian election of 1919, in which no members of the Fasci were elected to any office, the organisation moved further to the right and developed a reputation for using paramilitary violence against its political opponents, especially members of the Italian Socialist Party.[23] Through the support of its blackshirts militia and a political alliance with the government of Giovanni Giolitti and the Italian Nationalist Association, the Fasci was able to enter the Italian Parliament for the first time after the election of 1921.[24][25] In November of that year, the Fasci Italiani di Combattimento renamed and restructured itself as the National Fascist Party.

I learned that communism is left wing and fascism is right wing from a very credible source.

Would you consider Russia as a Fascist State? I do myself.

There are very few that aren’t. Some just wrap more velvet around their iron fist than others.

It was not intended to be legit...it was a funny scene in MASH that was somewhat on topic.

Essentially it was just a joke.

Both extremes are bad, but only one is fascism.

This question has been asked a guh zillion times on here in one thread or another.

I always share this short clip whenever it does.

Three minutes. Short and sweet and to the point, rather than being one of those annoying, hour long ''reaction'' type of videos that people post that seem to be all of the rage for generating content creation revenue these days...
