re: Why is fascism connected to "RIGHT WING?"

Mussolini and Hitler were socialists

The greatest example of fascism being a left-wing phenomenon was in the United Kingdom. Sir Oswald Mosley was a disciple of John Maynard Keynes in his early years and, after a brief stint as a Tory, became a Labour MP and a close confidant of Ramsay MacDonald. In fact, the six original members of the New Party, which was the precursor to the British Union of Fascists, were all Labour MP's.

Most of your traditional Tories at that time would have seen fascism as an industrial and barbaric ideology that had no regard for the class structured and agrarian-centered economic systems that had dominated England for centuries.
