The only "fascists" governments that history has known were powerful and centralized with dictators ruling them. They were leftists
This......This right here.

This is the level of trainwreck ignorance that won't allow me to look away from the poliboard.

Sure, there isnt really a true spectrum. There is only bigger, more centralized powerful government in one direction, and smaller, more fractured, less powerful government in another.
Obviously the problem lies in a single, linear spectrum, BUT small government isn't inherently a core principle of any side of that spectrum.

You could argue big government favors the left, but small government is an unfortunately minority principle anywhere in the spectrum.

link?

Even if that is true, it no longer describes todays political world. Left, right, whatever...there are people who want more government and those that want less.

To insinuate that the extreme end of conservatism and libertarianism is fascism is dishonest hogwash

Revisionist...

Classic liberals don't care about speech they don't like, classic liberals could care less about what other people do...

The "counterprotesters" are closer to brownshirts than the racists holding tiki torches
Their activities are similar

Or a few idiots selectively picked out by the media.

These idiots probably dont even want fascism. They probably just want to piss off Jews...you know just like how these Antifa idiots burn American flags.

The actual extreme of conservatism would be something like the Articles of Confederation and at the farthest, anarchy...not fascism

I can't speak for the current situation, but I know in the 1990s the fascists were still well represented in the Italian government. Not the same as having a fascist regime, but the party was still represented.

You insult the intelligence of everyone on this board peddling this bullshite about big government fascists being "right wing."


No one in their right mind - Yes I know your context - suggests that Hitler and Mussolini were not on the right end of the political spectrum.

I am pretty sure that Hitler was categorized as being right wing in his life time.
