re: This is probably a dumb question, but why is Neo-Nazism considered right wing?

The left wing media is constantly harping on the evil neo Nazis. The right wing media? Nah.
On the other hand, Antifa is constantly criticized and hated by this board and FoxNews, while they are lionized by the left.
How about because “nazis” are statistically non-existent in this country and haven’t had any power anywhere in the world for 80 years.
While antifa are currently active terrorists and violent instigators in this country.
Why aren’t we complaining about bootleggers and the klan?

Are there Nazis in Portland attacking people and pepper spraying them? Did an off-duty Army sergeant trying to earn a few extra bucks shoot a Nazi that was attacking his car and had to face charges from a corrupt DA because of it? If Nazis looted and burned all summer maybe you'd have a coherent point. As it is you just have the contrarian schtick, and that's a crowded stage with hank back.
Yet the left wing boards find reasons to criticize Proud Boys et al. The point stands.

The rise of Hitler was indeed an opportunity to present the Soviet Union as the defense of European civilization. Stalin, after more than a year, finally took it in June 1934. According to the new line of the Communist International, propagated then, politics was no longer a matter of “class against class.” Instead, the Soviet Union and communist parties around the world would unite the Left in a camp of “anti-fascists.” Rather than engaging in uncompromising class struggle, communists would rescue civilization from the rising tide of fascism. Fascism, the term popularized by Mussolini in Italy, was presented by the Soviets as a general corruption of late capitalism. Though fascism’s spread signified the end of the old capitalist order, its vicious hatred of the Soviet Union (went the argument) justified Soviet and communist compromises with other capitalist forces (in the interest of defending the Soviet Union). European communists were to restyle themselves as “anti-fascists,” and to cooperate with social democrats and other parties of the Left. Communists in Europe were expected to join “Popular Fronts,” electoral alliances and win election victories with social democrats and other parties of the Left.
The point has been proved, even though you are too recalcitrant to accept it. Hitler, and other facists, were right wing.

I’ve said nothing about that; it’s a pointless conversation. There’s nothing for me to “accept”.
I addressed your asinine implication that discussing antifa more than nazis was somehow due to some political sympathy as opposed to what groups are active in the US, attempting to influence public opinion and policy. Try to stay on topic.

Fascism was a right wing, authoritarian, reaction to communism.

So what’s the point of a China only travel ban?

Yes - you may want to look up the Proud Boys sometime.

You're still an idiot. Proud Boys are a response to antifa violence.

Again, what does the word Nazi mean?
What type of economies did the two most well-known fascist states run?

It's strange then that the leaders of the two most recognizable fascist states were socialists.

Probably because it's more prevalent on the right? If you dispute this you don't live in reality. Yes of course it exists on the left also but it's much more prevalent on the right.
