Socialist or Fascist.....

Post by _ldsfaqs »

Well, to be fair Socialism has "fascist" aspects, which is why it's on the Left.
He also explains some of why fascism is on the left, and how it came to be associated with the right. While Nazi'ism was thus "more right" than those leftists and thus might have been the "start" of it, it's not why it's associated with the right today. Today it's simply lying by the left, because fascism has no characteristics of the right as this article shows.

Also, read the comments, there are several good ones that further explain.

You're an idiot. Socialism is on the political left. Fascism is on the political right.

Yes, everyone knows that....except ldsfaqs. It's all so confusing to him.

Clearly you didn't read the article.
There is basically ZERO characteristic of Fascism that is on the "Right".
However, nearly every Leftist ideology is found in Fascism.
You shouldn't confuse your liberal brainwashing with being the same things as fact and reality.

No Fascist leader, country, etc. in history and today can be said to be on the "Right".
Leftists love the Islamic Fascists.... such as PBS love and CARE love.... the Right doesn't.
Leftists love Mao and Stalin, likely two of the greatest mass murderers of history, the Right doesn't.
Fascists such as Venezuela and North Korea school systems use Leftist literature to brainwash their peoples, they don't use literature of the Right.

Read the book "Liberal Fascism" and start learning the actual truth and facts for a change.
If fascism is of the Right, where is all the "evidence" of it??? There is none. But there is plenty on the left.

The Right is about Freedom.... It's extreme is Anarchy.
The Left is about "State Control" of things and people, the extreme of that is Fascism.

It's so fascinating to me how leftists can't see and understand basic facts and logic.
