- Every Republican president since the 1970s has been called a fascist. Ironic, no? After all, fascism has its roots in the left. Dinesh D'Souza, author of The Big Lie, explains.

“He’s a fascist!”
For decades, this has been a favorite smear of the left, aimed at those on the right. Every Republican president-for that matter, virtually every Republican-since the 1970s has been called a fascist; now, more than ever.
This label is based on the idea that fascism is a phenomenon of the political right. The left says it is, and some self-styled white supremacists and neo-Nazis embrace the label.
But are they correct?
To answer this question, we have to ask what fascism really means: What is its underlying ideology? Where does it even come from?
These are not easy questions to answer. We know the name of the philosopher of capitalism: Adam Smith. We know the name of the philosopher of Marxism: Karl Marx. But who’s the philosopher of fascism?
Yes-exactly. You don’t know. Don’t feel bad. Almost no one knows. This is not because he doesn’t exist, but because historians, most of whom are on the political left, had to erase him from history in order to avoid confronting fascism’s actual beliefs. So, let me introduce him to you. His name is Giovanni Gentile.
Born in 1875, he was one of the world’s most influential philosophers in the first half of the twentieth century. Gentile believed that there were two “diametrically opposed” types of democracy. One is liberal democracy, such as that of the United States, which Gentile dismisses as individualistic-too centered on liberty and personal rights-and therefore selfish. The other, the one Gentile recommends, is “true democracy,” in which individuals willingly subordinate themselves to the state.
Like his philosophical mentor, Karl Marx, Gentile wanted to create a community that resembles the family, a community where we are “all in this together.” It’s easy to see the attraction of this idea. Indeed, it remains a common rhetorical theme of the left.
For example, at the 1984 convention of the Democratic Party, the governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, likened America to an extended family where, through the government, people all take care of each other.
Nothing’s changed. Thirty years later, a slogan of the 2012 Democratic Party convention was, “The government is the only thing we all belong to.” They might as well have been quoting Gentile.
Now, remember, Gentile was a man of the left. He was a committed socialist. For Gentile, fascism is a form of socialism-indeed, its most workable form. While the socialism of Marx mobilizes people on the basis of class, fascism mobilizes people by appealing to their national identity as well as their class. Fascists are socialists with a national identity. German Fascists in the 1930s were called Nazis-basically a contraction of the term “national socialist.”
For Gentile, all private action should be oriented to serve society; there is no distinction between the private interest and the public interest. Correctly understood, the two are identical. And who is the administrative arm of the society? It’s none other than the state. Consequently, to submit to society is to submit to the state-not just in economic matters, but in all matters. Since everything is political, the state gets to tell everyone how to think and what to do.

Fascism is a dictatorial form of political ideology. Socialism, on the other hand, is an ideology where individuals of a society own the means of production. A fascist ruler wields supreme power and authority over a country. In contrast, rulers of socialist nations distribute power and authority among the states.
A dictator does not tolerate any criticism, opposition, or rebellion; freedom of speech takes a back seat. Compared to fascist regimes, socialist states allow more freedom of speech. Dictators control industries; but in socialist states, the ownership of the means of production lies with the public sector.
Your indoctrination is totally visible, on thing is the concept of socialism and other is the historical results of socialism .
@@jorgei57 Wow, you are claiming I'm the one that is indoctrinated? Clearly you are the one that has been indoctrinated by right wing propaganda and have no clue what Socialism even is. You seem to be indicating that the "historical results of socialism", probably referring to countries like the Soviet Union, North Korea, Cuba and China, which are all well known communist nations that became Totalitarian (not socialist countries, even though Communism is an extreme form of Socialism, it is NOT the only form of Socialism).
The world is not strictly Black and White. Most Ideologies, including Socialism and Capitalism, are not defined by the extreme ends. Socialism has a lot of forms that are NOT Communism, such as what is found in Norway and the other Nordic countries.
Claiming that ALL Socialist nations, and Socialism itself, are Communist is like saying that all forms of Capitalism are Fascist (Which, yes, Fascism is indeed a right-wing ideology that incorporates Capitalism).
@@jorgei57 Also, the point of my post was to show that Fascism is NOTHING LIKE Socialism. Fascism is DEFINATELY NOT a form of Socialism as the video claims. Words mean things and facts (reality) matters -- you can't ignore them just because you have been indoctrinated by right wing propaganda, which this video is.

@@tevzcrnic4456 yeah...it's colorful videos filled with appealing conservative talking points without evidence that attract a new, younger generation of conservatives who get indoctrinated with this awful dogma of "the left is always bad and they're feminazis all of them don't listen to them own with facts and logic" so anything we say goes in one ear and out the other.
@@vanad1um665 absolutely true
I admit that it is propaganda, however, in no case do I think it is misleading because they are precise in defining that fascism is a model of government to which the people subordinate themselves to serve the interest of a few who rules giving up individual interests and liberties for the good of such nation
Fascism in the USA and the UK has its roots in The Fabian Society. The Fascists were Keynesian Socialists. That includes Hitler, Mussolini, Mosely and FDR.
FDR wasn’t a fascist you goddamn moron
This doesn't really have to do with the video but I really want to vent about this real quick. So in my honors English class (I'm a sophomore in high school) my teacher assigned us this short essay to write (at least 4 pages in length, so it is pretty short) where we have to find an opinionated current events article and write about how the author used rhetoric strategies to make his argument. From the beginning I was both looking forward to doing this assignment (because I love writing about things that I'm passionate about and I love writing in general) and dreading it because I live in the very Democratic state of New York and whenever I talk/write about something conservative in school I typically get yelled at by my peers and I get dirty looks from my teachers. It's really frustrating and I don't like to share my political views with others as a result of the treatment that I have gotten in the past for doing such and I frequently try to hide the fact that I'm a republican from a lot of my very liberal friends (which is all of my friends except for three, and I don't just not have a lot of friends, I swear). And my parents are Democrats too, but that's a whole different topic.
So back to the story; my teacher told us that we can email her potential articles if we want to get her 'okay' about them. So being the good student that I am, I started looking for articles immediately (even though I know that almost everybody in my class started their work for this assignment yesterday or today) and I sent her articles that I wanted to do. But this liberal teacher of mine kept on giving me BS excuses to not let me do any of the more right-leaning articles that I asked about doing. This was really starting to piss me off because I desperately wanted to start this essay already because I'm so busy with my other schoolwork and cheerleading, but she was significantly delaying my start. But today she finally (reluctantly) approved one of my articles (probably because the essay is due tomorrow at midnight). I just don't understand why liberals have to be so discriminatory towards conservatives. I can tell you that I never argue against liberals about politics and I completely understand and respect the other sides views. But I get treated this way by my own teacher?? It's just frustrating.
And btw, the article that I'm doing is about Google and many of their employees discriminating against conservative employees. So that's kinda related to what just happened in my life (and I can imagine that crappy grade that I'm gonna get on this essay just for that reason) and it's a really good article. Here's the link:
www.google.com/amp/www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/11/03/leak-google-employees-defend-discrimination-against-conservatives/amp/
Nice points. Unfortunately you will be tagged by UA-cam(Google) as one with conservative viewpoints and be only allowed a limited number of characters in your comments fr
...from now on just like I have been restricted to so many characters in my replies to videos because of my conservative viewpoints in my replies.
Today's liberals are fascists who oppose anyone who dares to disagree with liberal dogma. Liberalism is a religion for most liberals because they do not believe in god (read Ann Coulter's book, Godless!). If you can get a video of one of your teachers preaching liberal dogma to your class, do it and post it on UA-cam. Also, contact conservatives in the new media and tell them about your experiences with being discriminated against by your teachers. Good luck!

No this video is wrong. The left is about social equality and less social hierarchy. The right is about higher social hierarchy. Please don't listen to liars like De Souza. Do your own research. Google it! Capitalism creates a hierarchy between rich and poor and fascism creates a hierarchy between the dominant race and the inferior race as it tries to establish a "strictly regimented society" THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF FASCISM!!!, therefore FASCISM IS ON THE RIGHT!

@@commenter6973 I'm Italian and no, Giovanni gentile isn't the creator of fascism, in twenty years of fascism in Italy we had the most number of privatization in our history and the right of Proletarian are soppresed in violence. To rise to power, Mussolini allied himself with the capitalist and conservative right and repressed all forms of left and trade unions. However, let's analyze from the social point of view, capitalist society is hierarchical or vertical, there are men who are higher and men who are lower and this also happens with fascism. instead the communism conceived by karl Marx foresees the abolition of hierarchies and therefore promotes a horizontal society. This also happened with Nazism in Germany, and it is not that if you call yourself "national socialism" then you are a "socialist" the facts do not count, it is not that if my name is fish then I am. So the capitalist and fascism are very similar.
Has anyone here actually read the Doctrine of Fascism or actual fascist philosophy
@@gary3936 They condemned everyone who was not them. Stalin killed Communists in the soviet union. They called Jews Socialists and Communists, I know that you are not saying it but with your argument I can make the claim that you think that Jews are Socialist and Communist.
Secondly it is about political power, why would you want other people with the same ideas as you but with less murder to rise up.
I can point out that they killed Capitalists as they were seen as greedy, especially at a time where millions of Germans were starving and unemployed.
Furthermore there is a thing called the conservative left as well as a thing called the progressive right. Conservative and progressive is not just a left right thing, after all conservative values fuel into nationalism as it promotes the family the responsibilities of men and women and helpfully an increase in the population.
Also the video points out the origins of Fascism as being National Socialism made by a leftist philosopher and taken up by ex-Socialists in Mussolini case and on that same video the claim that Fascism is right wing is made.
Fascism has no direct doctrine. It was a socialistic movement that Benito Mussolini founded and called it fascismo

Don't forget that Nazis invented the "Jewish Bolshevism" conspiracy theory, blaming Jews for socialism and communism.
Not to suggest that only right-wingers can be anti-Semitic. Stalin was anti-Semitic too, but neither Hitler nor Mussolini, nor Hirohito was socialist. They all spoke about the glory of the past. "Make Rome great again" and "Make the Empire (Reich) great again" was among their slogans.

Fascism works like this:
Right-wing says it's left-wing
Left-wing says it's right-wing
Fascists say they're neither
Neo-fascists you mean. Because fascists nowadays differ in phylosophy to real fascists before.
Real fascists were nothing more than capitalists, supported by big companies
@@socialismodemocracia9366
Hitler and Mussolini weren't capitalists.
They're supported by STATE controlled corporations.
Capitalism is the free exchange of goods and services, when you restrict exchanges between people thats not capitalist, having a state technically own every business in a country (nazi germany, hitler could seize any property/means of production whenever he wanted and it was legal for him to do so) isn't capitalist.
You can argue they're state corporatists, but they're not at all capitalist, i love how commies like you always bring up "lol read a book" yet you call a statist that hates the free market and freedom itself a capitalist.
All drugs should be legal to sell, use and own
All weapons should be legal to sell, use and own
Taxation is theft.
These are pure capitalist views on government and it's regulatory actions, the nazis despised these ideas.
I'm a pragmatic libertarian minarchist, i support regulation that stifles monopolization and very light environmental regulation, you have the right to consume black tar heroine and to build a stationary cannon on your roof.
@Marcus Randall No he wasn't.
HAH the notion that Hitler was a Marxist is laughable. Feel free to actually read one of his speeches or books. His open contempt for all communist ideology and Marx himself is a consistent and significant feature of his rhetoric. Hitler himself said that Marxism is inherently Jewish because Marx was Jewish, and that it was a weak and contemptible ideology designed to ruin a nation's ability to self determine; Even going so far as to say that Communism existed to serve the Jews that (according to him) were trying to take control of the world. He called his ideology National Socialism not because it was based on socialist ideology, but because socialism was very popular in Germany. Multiple parties called themselves some variant of socialism. The first concentration camps were built to detain outspoken socialists and socialist ideology was banned after the Nazi party came to power.
I know it's popular to equate Hitler and the Nazis with stuff people don't like, but you can't claim Hitler was even a little bit Marxist without ignoring all of the relevant history, including his own freaking words.
@Marcus Randall In what way was he a marxist?
Never even heard of this Gentile fella by accident, until today.
He does good stuff. You should check out his books and movies. They're pretty good if you lean right.
He is very well known in Europe. In Italy is as well known as Adam Smith is in US. There is a "Via Giovanni Gentile" in any big city of Italy.
bobon123 Yes he was mostly a philosopher and an intellectual, these guys at praguer don't actually care about fascism otherwise they'd know better
+a b They called him a philosopher, so...
Jos Meid Yes but if I want to know about fascist belief I'd rather look at what Mussolini said, not what Gentile said. I find it interesting, and maybe suspiciously convenient, that they quote Gentile more than Mussolini. There were plenty of different intellectuals that were supported or tolerated by the fascist regime, many of them were at odds with each other (example D'Annunzio and Marinetti) and none of them dictated the philosophy of fascism, Mussolini did (in fact he decided to persecute the Jews even if some Jews were among the founders of the Fascist party). In this case the dishonesty of pragerU is clear

JayPfo seems like recently it has always been left wingers trying to censor inconvient history.
We need to acknowledge that none of us KNOW history. We know of events, we know of writing that historically famous people have written and published, we know philosophical concepts, but we don't know anything really about times in which no modern person has lived and experienced. For example, if you were to put together all of my writing in comments over the years (what a nightmare that would be), you would think some very strange things about me that likely aren't true. But all of that would be through the lens of someone who has a certain idea of their own about things that happened today. No one can know what my full opinion is on anything because you simply can't know that.
Especially when you're in the middle of it.

The best way to avoid history from repeating itself, is learning and understanding what it was.
Nationalist Socialists and fascists referred to themselves as left-wing socialists and were both big government gun grabbers. The Nazi's were a merger of two socialist parties, including the economically socialist Political Worker's Circle (PAC), joined at the hip with the european communists. However, the Nazi's formed a coalition government with a right-wing populist party in Germany called the German National People's Party (DNVP), which had more seats than the Nazi's did. So that coalition might've been right-wing populist, but Hitler kept calling his party, "From the camp of bourgeois tradition, it takes national resolve, and from the materialism of the Marxist dogma, living, creative Socialism," anti-liberal, and anti-capitalist.
@@MaxAbramson3 So Far right neo nazis are really left wing ? ? LOL : )

Yes. And fight against canceling historical figures, tearing down their statues. History, and the people who made history, for good or ill, have a lot to teach us that can inform our future.
I agree, but it also requires understanding how the use of philosophical and political terms and concepts gets muddled over time.
If you were to study the origin of liberalism, for example, starting with John Locke, you'd be very confused by its applications in modern American cultural context, where the meaning has become more like an oxymoron.
I prefer to resist these ambiguities and refer back to source material and origins, because the changes often have the intent of fooling people, engineering the way they think.
Case example: the Swastica existed for thousands of years in the Hindu religion and meant prosperity. Hitler stole it and now when people see it they think of bigotry and destruction.
Those who seek power will steal words and symbols to wear like wolves in sheep clothing and trick people into following them. This creates historical ambiguities down the road.
"Former Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, is quoted as saying, “Fascism should more appropriate be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. Benito Mussolini
That sounds a lot like the globalists and their NWO, does it not?
I've seen the quote. I don't know if it's true or not. If it is, then America is fascist, no matter who you vote for, because corporate cronyism and back dealing is at play weather Democrat
or Republicans are in.
Communism isn't a viable alternative either, because it's simply a massive conglomeration of state, industry, and military. It may be due to Italian language. The term corporate means body (ie
corpse,corporeal), to imply many acting under one body, much like how Catholic refers to being one with the body of Christ.
Nathan Sharp: Look at a photo of the House of Representatives, and notice what is mounted on the wall on either side of the Speaker. Fascism has been within the US since Thomas Jefferson and the creation of the political parties. It was Jefferson's party that ushered in the word, Democratic.
You don't know what Corporatism is, do you?
Corporatism: "The control of a state or organization by large interest groups."
Example: "Fascism was the high point of corporatism."
A political party, labor union, or a grouping of the members of the wealthy power elite, such as a "round table group" (NGO), is an interest group. The UN and EU are very good examples of controlled authority, as well as any corporate state/government being controlled by the same groups. This is why FDR stated that he admired Mussolini's fascism. It was FDR who helped create the UN, which originated with the Lend-Lease Plan, before it was revealed to the public and organized as an official world authority. The UN is controlled by corporate interests.
You might also find that Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler were controlled by large corporate interests, outside of Russia, Italy, and Germany, and thus, so were their governments instead of the other way around. Marx was also an elitist puppet of the old noble ruling class.
The United States Govt. has also been controlled by a group of the wealthy power elite, especially financiers, since its founding. FDR stated that it started under Jackson, but in reality, it started under Washington, Hamilton, and Jefferson with the war debt, Wall Street, and trade with Europe.

Actually makes me laugh they call conservatives, the people who stand for small government and strong on the 2nd amendment fascist.
The video makes the distinction of fascism too simplistic. For example, Fascism and Anarchism are complete opposites in some respects (Authoritarianism) but they're both considered far left. Fascism took hold in Germany due to the popularity of Nationalism, which is where the parallels to US conservatives come from.
If conservative stood for small government, wouldn't it be considered conservative to want the legalization of abortion and drugs?
@@CulturalMarxist4985 yes and no. Do I want to syringes everywhere and more people with aids? Not at all. Legalize some drugs but not all of them. I have never really had a big problem with abortion. I think the right over reaches on this topic. I rather see them focus their efforts in teaching youth responsibility so they never have to make the choice in the first place. It's sad but it's not my problem or business. These two issues are nowhere near the same as the left issues with big government.
@@anomalyevolution40 Well, the point is that conservative just means reluctant to accept new ideas. Nothing to do with small government. Left wing's been defined by social equality and right wing by social hierarchy since the era of the French Revolution when those in the left wing of the National Assembly were in favour of revolution and justice for the people of the third estate while those in the right wing opposed the revolution and wanted to conserve the monarchy. Fascism's sort of the benchmark to which social hierarchy and inequality are measured. To claim that it isn't far-right would be blotting out reality.
@@CulturalMarxist4985 i think the connection is that, as you said, cons are reluctant to change, the US is capitalistic, capitalism/free market requires small gov't. Seems to me in the US (as an outsider) the left want gov't intervention economically, but liberation in their personal lives. Then the right want freedom/no involvement from the gov't, except when it comes to freedoms that go against their beliefs. Am I right in thinking the right are more religious?

Do the workers own the means of production? No? lol
Mao Zedong no, you see, all socialism really is is big government. Socialism is where the government does stuff and the more stuff it does the socialistier it is and if it does a whole lot of stuff then it’s communism.
Edward Backman and you are wrong as socialism is an economic model which some ideologies follow hence names like "democratic socialists", "populist socialists" and the like. Workers owning the means of production is usually something communists would have and fascism is neither left nor right nor centrist but rather and alternative ideal
It was a joke, Edward Backman was talking shit on Cenk Uygur but no you are wrong workers ownership of the means of production is socialism. Communism is stateless and also the goal of most socialists. Idiots like Bernie calling themselfes "democratic socialist" are not socialist but social democrates. Fascism is far right, it is a ultra conservative ,reactionary and have private property.
Edward Backman communism is an ideology that supports socialism, socialism is an economic model which allows the workers to "gain" what they have earned from labour by giving their earnings to the government to distribute them, and that can lead to some problems but yeah.
Drake democratic socialism is a term that got misused a lot by bernie sanders. Theres a big difference between democratic socialism and social democracy. Social democracy is what bernie campaigns for nd what exists in scandinavia (free college, healthcare, progressive taxing etc.) But it is still firmly a capitalist ideology. Democratic socialism on the other hand is a socialist ideaology where the workers do own the means of production and private property is abolished, but there is still a democratically elected government.
Facism is to the left of the US and most capitalist countries including scandinavian ones, but it still remains on the right overall since the workers do not own the means of production, distribution and exchange and private property still exists.

I know. I mean some "right-wingers" support social control, other "right-wingers" support small goverment.
The difference between right and left is really that the right believes social inequality is either unavoidable or for the best, while the left believes social inequality should be fought against. That's why fascism is right, because it is built on the principle that some people are, and should be, superior to others or inferior to others based on their race/nationality.
That's a lot of made up BS.

Nearly every definition you used is a form of collectivist thinking. Conservatives believe the rights of the individual trumps the state's "right" to dictate policy. The political Left believes the opposite. It is by default totalitarian.
I feel like maybe we should start making more good idea vs. bad idea arguments and stop making so many left vs. right arguments. The good idea vs. bad idea ones seem to be much more useful in the scheme of things, especially when the solution to a problem is somewhere between left and right.

Onehappydawg Yeah, that's a legitimate problem. But somebody who does think logically can recognize good ideas most of the time. Just yelling at the idiots "I'm not a fascist, you're a fascist!" isn't going to accomplish much in the way of attracting those logical people, it will probably just drive them away and disenfranchise them. Stooping to your opponent's level isn't often a good idea as far as political discourse goes.
I don't see many stooping to their level. On the right I see most trying to use logic and common sense it is the progressive left that shouts at everyone they disagree with. In a group the progressive left is impossible to reason with, but when singled out and reasoned with one on one sometimes there can be a break though of the brainwashing they have had.
Onehappydawg Keyword "most", but MOSTLY fair enough. We can't always reason with the loud extremes of the political spectrum, so the most we can do is drown them out with reason until they can't be heard above the deafening sound of common sense.

@Fascism Is Honest Socialism fascism doesn’t incorporate economic leftism. In fascist Italy, profit shares for industrialists and land owners massively increased, and the fascists were backed by capitalists like the perrone brothers.
@Fascism Is Honest Socialism The Fascist Manifesto was rejected by Mussolini and Gentile, and the guy who wrote it was opposed to Mussolini and Gentile. The Doctrine of Fascism, on the other hand, shows the anti-socialist, anti-syndicalist, and anti-marxist nature of fascism.
@Fascism Is Honest Socialism the fascist manifesto was written by Filippo Marinetti who was a philosopher of futurism and deemed Mussolini and Gentiles’ fascism “reactionary” (which it was) and left the fascist party Congress in 1920. And for doctrine of fascism quotes:
“No individuals or groups (political parties, cultural associations, economic unions, social classes) outside the State. Fascism is therefore opposed to Socialism to which unity within the State (which amalgamates classes into a single economic and ethical reality) is unknown, and which sees in history nothing but the class struggle. Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon.”
“Such a conception of life makes Fascism the resolute negation of the doctrine underlying so-called scientific and Marxian socialism, the doctrine of historic materialism which would explain the history of mankind in terms of the class struggle and by changes in the processes and instruments of production, to the exclusion of all else.”
And fascism in Italy was backed by capitalists like the perrone brothers and the fascist policies were capitalist in nature. They privatized railways, ended state monopolies, privatized state telephones, privatized insurance companies, and the profit shares for industrialists massively increased
@Fascism Is Honest Socialism and the link for the privatization of major industries in fascist Italy can’t be typed in a comment section but it’s called “THE FIRST PRIVATIZATION: SELLING SOEs AND PRIVATIZING PUBLIC MONOPOLIES IN FASCIST ITALY (1922-1925)”
@Fascism Is Honest Socialism nationalist socialism is opposed to Marxist globalist socialism, but fascism isn’t nationalist socialism, Gentile and Mussolini specifically said “fascism is opposed to socialism” and capitalism isn’t fascism but fascist economics have historically been capitalist. Laissez-Faire Capitalism isn’t all capitalism, it’s just one form of capitalism that the fascists rejected. Fascist economics combined Keynesianism-capitalism and corporatism-capitalism

I am honestly curious. I just find it hard to believe that big government in which the state is in control of everything most everything could possibly be right wing. Today's left looks more and more like the then Nazi party who's goal was big government and silencing the opinions of free people.
"... big government and silencing the opinions of free people..." sounds like the entire Trump agenda, to be honest. He's put into action more executive orders than any other President in the last 50 odd years, meaning he's on pace to sign the most of all time, he tries to use the office of the Presidency to dictate the hiring and firing within independent businesses, he wants to wrest control from both the judicial and legislative branches of government to the executive branch (a trend started by the last republican president), he urges the justice department to investigate independent media and reduce the efficacy of the first amendment, he utilizes Orwellian tactics with weirdly positive results- anything he doesn't agree with simply isn't real, he openly contradicts himself from one week to another (in a sort of bizarrely infantile version of double think)-also he has an incredibly punchable face. That last one isn't relevant, but true nonetheless.
Nazis were not socialist, and there has never been a socialistic fascist state. Fascism is actually corporativist.

People make the mistake of thinking left wing = more government. right wing = less government. That's absolutely false. The idea to use bigger government to mitigate social inequality is a capitalist idea to prevent socialism from rising up. Actual left wingers are libertarian.

Read Mein Kampf, Adolf's autobiography for yourself and discover how far to the left Hitler was on his political ideologies. In multiple chapters, Hitler writes about his hatred and loathing of capitalism, private property and "profiteering". One of Hitler's goals was to universally outlaw private property. He exalts the state over the individual and believes all financial activities of corporations should be regulated and controlled by the state --- a goal which he achieved during his tenure as "Der Furhrer", NAZI leader of Germany. NOT very "rightwing" or conservative, I would say. In fact, the modern American Democratic Party and its persistent desire to control and regulate business and industry appears to be just as fascistic and totalitarian as some of the infamous extremist European political regimes of the not so distant past.

North Korea, hard core commie and if you defect they will kill your entire family because you betrayed the state/nation. USSR, the hallmark of Communism and incredibly nationalistic. NAZI Germany, hard cor Socialist while being hard core Nationalist. I could go on for many, many more but you get the idea. Finally extreme right wing is no government at all (normally called Anarchy) where there are no nations. Just shy of that mark is limited power Republics like America started out as (not the Crony Capitalist with socialist tendencies Republic we have now)
wrong Nationalism is right wing since nationalism is about the nation, while left wing would be is about the classless poplutation. North Korea is not communist in fact it was trying to enact a Korean policy of Juche which is a independence from higher powers, aka the communist states, it is more run like a dictatorship than a communist state more in the eyes of a monarchy since the state doesn't care about their people only head of state. You can debate whether these states were communistic since these states cared more about the state than the people which is the opposite of communism. NAZI Germany was not very socialist since most of the power was held with manufacturers and the party, a pretty capitalistic state that was racially and anti-semitically focused will goals of domination which is very right wing. Extreme right can and cannot have a government since it can be libertarian or authoritarian. You have just described a libertarian outcome that isn't right or left wing as libertarianism in the end would have no government but that isn't a right or left issue. Right wing has nothing to do with less government that is a libertarian issue, right wing itself cares about tradition. Leftwing libertarians are anarcho-communist and right wing are anarchist.

Just because you're authoritarian doesn't mean you're fascist
Fascism is culturally right as opposed to communism which is culturally left
But they are both authoritarian and statist
Socialism is on the economic side. Fascism can be both economically left aka socialist or economically right aka capitalist.
Either way that doesn't change that facism is a far right ideology
If you don't believe me, check Wikipedia
@Ludovico CRM114 check the sources Wikipedia cites
Wikipedia isn't my source. I'm pointing to it as an example if you don't want to listen to me.
The fact that political ideologies are a little more complicated than just left or right should make sense.
Just look at the Australian liberals. They are what you would think as right leaning.
Or the Canadian nationalists who are very left leaning
Political ideologies are complicated and have different policies
Just because one is economically left doesn't mean they are culturally left too
No this isn't some leftist propoganda shit
I personally dislike liberals
This is pretty common sense
Imagine an authoritarian regime that is socialist in that it provides healthcare and the such but is culturally alt right, believing in the "pure" race and thus only gives benefits to them whilst killing other groups.
Or imagine a regime where the government interferes as less as possible and is as small as possible and is therefore anarchistic but the regime also restricts abortion and gay rights and is therefore culturally right but the regime also gives healthcare to its people and is thus economically left

There are 14 Characteristics of Fascism.
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, and long incarcerations of prisoners.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists…
5. Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation.
6. Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government censorship and secrecy, especially in war time, are very common.
7. Obsession with National Security
Fear of hostile foreign powers is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Protection of Corporate Power
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Suppression of Labor Power
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
12, Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
@Murray Wilson : These have very little to do with fa scis m, and very much to do with every dic tat ori al country in existence. These "characteristics" are the zod iac signs of poli tics.
@@_Historia.Magistra.Vitae. Again you show your idiocy. Yes, these very much are characteristics of Fascism. They are NOT "the zod iac signs of poli tics"!
While many of these points are indeed aligned with dictators, one of the defining characteristics of Fascism is that they are headed by an all powerful dictator, therefore many of the characteristics of fascism are also characteristics of dictators. However, not all dictators are Fascists, some are Monarchs or fall elsewhere politically.
@@Naris48 : Again, they have very little to do with fascism. If you want to know about the characteristics of fascism instead of generic characteristics of dictatorship, I highly suggest you go and read some proper history, starting from "the doctrine of fascism" by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile. Fascism didn't even have a dictator. Mussolini was a Prime Minister, subservient to the King of Italy.
@@_Historia.Magistra.Vitae. Yes, they have EVERYTHIGN to do with Fascism! Why do you insist on denying reality? Mussolini was indeed a dictator, he claimed as much in 1925 when he seized power. Adolf Hitler was another Fascist dictator. The King of Italy became a figurehead after Mussolini's seized power, although the King was effectively reinstated when Mussolini was ousted in 1943 since the war was going very badly for Italy.
I suggest you read Umberto Eco and Lawrence Britt so you can get a clue.
@@Naris48 : Again, the reality is that those "characteristics" are describing generic dictatorship and could be applied to countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, China, North Korea, USSR and many others which have nothing to do with fas cis m whatsoever. By the definition of the word, Mussolini was not a proper dictator since he did not have all the power in Italy, unlike Hit ler had in Germany. Also Hit ler was not a fa sci st, he was a nati onal soc iali st. When it comes to Umberto Eco, he is as useless as your posted vague characteristics list.

"we all chip in in case something goes wrong" the fact the most DICTATORS used this as a front for corruption what i learned living in Romania is that KINGS AND QUEENS SUCK...regardless of what banner they raise , be that political, theocratic, nationalistic or otherwise their own blood
Fascism’s ideologies are always encumbered by ideals of nationalism and “our group is the best group”. This is by far a right wing ideology. When the left wing ideologies of socialism and communism literally in the name and definition is about everyone of the working force being equal and pursuing democracy then it’s impossible to label fascism as a left wing ideology. Also if anyone actually believes hitler and the Nazis were socialists then you really need to touch up on your historic knowledge. The socialists and communists were the FIRST people hitler went after. Not only that but there was private organization in Germany and anything “social” was only for the white Germans. It wasn’t inclusive, again it was fascist.
Aren’t fascism and communism ideological opposites?
@@ottovonbass-mark5424 they are in a sense the issue really is that words like fascism can describe more then just economic model but also what are typical fascist characteristics. So for instance I would say most governments show characteristics of fascism but aren’t necessarily fascist. The USSR could be called fascist for many of the things they did.

Your literal first section just described China and Soviet Russia. So those were far right to you? You know nothing of history. Both communism and fascism were born from socialism. Every criteria you used to define fascism as right wing is equal applicable to the communist nations. What, you don't know of the communist purges and ethnic cleansings?

Fascism isn't really left or right. It's almost like they are some third position. We should really come up with a word for that.
No dude, everything has to be a dichotomy. Having more than two options is incomprehensible.
The misunderstanding here is oversimplification of the left-right dichotomy. In truth, fascism is economically neutral- left leaning. It is true that Germany’s economy was controlled by the government to a fairly profound extent, but this was more about Hitler’s specific implementation. In truth Fascism doesn’t describe the economic axis. Instead it is highly authoritarian and VERY culturally right.
Right-wingers see fascism as left bc they purely focus on economics.
Left-wingers see fascism is right because the primary ideological backing of fascism is hyper nationalism and extreme cultural regression. Both the nazis and the Italian fascist sought a return to their great empires (the German Empire and Rome). Obviously the left favors change and the cultural dimension whereas the right favors tradition. This is why fascism is primarily right wing. Leftist (often in exaggeration) call the right fascist because the right seeks cultural regression. In America this manifests as policy against immigration, anti-lgbtq, and more emphasis on religion and family units.
Last I checked, murdering people (countrymen as well) because they aren't "profitable" isn't exactly "economically neutral-left leaning". In fascism, it's considered "social" to jump off a bridge if you can't contribute to the nation. What? You don't want to jump? Well, then they'll push you, because that's what anti-social parasites deserve!

Right= less government interference
Left= more government interference
It's pretty simple people. It has nothing to do with currency
@@Bender-B-Rodriguez
You obviously have never heard of the french anarchist syndicates movements if you think “left = government interference”.
And the literal term “left” comes from the side of the room people sat on in France when supporting or opposing having a monarchy.
And the left were the side of abolishing it. Unsure how that translates to “more government interference”, but sure.
Which is why the left-right divide is less about government interference, and more about hierarchy. If you want to be reductive in the divide, the following better expains it.
The left believes that almost all forms of hierarchy are unjust and therefore are to be abolished. We try to spread as much power across as many people as possible, trying to flatten the hierarchy pyramid as flat as possible.
The right believes that hierarchy is normal and just the right people need to be on top. It's about getting the power to the right people, either through birthright, hard work or genetic talent.
That's being extremely reductive, but way more accurate than your take.
who in their right mind would want big government? that's like always having your boss breathing down your neck 24/7 screaming at you and nit picking for every little thing.
This fool doesn't know what people would give to feel secure.
Having the government provide the people services doesn’t make it a dictatorship.

When looking at history, a common belief of fascism is denouncing socialism and holding up capitalism. While Hitler's political party was named the "National Socialist German Workers' Party," it was not socialist, nor a workers' party. The only thing that relates fascism and socialism is that fascists despise socialists.

@@number4cat1 Well, fascism obviously doesn't aim for an egalitarian society, so you can't very well call it left wing. It puts significant emphasis on nationalism to the point that the people of the nation are seen as superior to others. From this extreme nationalism came the concept of racial purity in Nazi Germany. Fascist regimes shared the same extreme nationalist ideas, xenophobia and disdain for feminists, communists and other preachers of social equality. The Doctrine of Fascism even describes it as right wing:
'Granted that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, liberalism, democracy, this does not mean that the twentieth century must also be the century of socialism, liberalism, democracy. We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the right, a fascist century.'
@@CulturalMarxist4985it does aim for an egalitarian society. It’s a populist state for the Italian nationals. Hitlers racial socialism was for the German RACE. That’s the egalitarian aspect.

Marlon It was used on Mussolini and Hitler because Mussolini literally created the "Fascists" party and Hitler model his state closely after it. It had nothing to do with right-vs.-left.
Because Stalin fought against fascism, and Castro overthrow a dictator worse then him.
Not saying they were great, just putting out facts.
Batista was not worse than Castro. Proof is that under Batista scores of thousands of Cubans did not flee the country. Indeed, under Batista any Cuban who want to go live somewhere else was free to go.
Greg B www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1962659
Sorry, but that article is full of half-truths and outright falsehoods. Yes, there were poor people in Cuba, but that has always been the case. If anything conditions improved under Batista. All those American companies created thousands of jobs for Cubans, and they generally paid higher wages than did Cuban-owned companies. Cuba in the 1950s had one of the faster growing economies in Latin America, and the middle class was increasing in numbers, until the effects of Castro's "Revolution" knocked everything out of whack starting in 1957.
I also notice that the article said nothing about how very few people (other than anti-Batista rebels like the Castro brothers) fled Cuba under Batista, while under Fidel hundreds of thousands, both wealthy and poor, have fled, and who knows how many thousands have died trying to escape Fidel's communist hell-hole, with its enforced poverty on all but the Party elite.
Mind, I do not say that things were great under Batista. Cuba had many problems then, but he did try to improve education and health care, but when the Revolution became serious Batista devoted all of his limited resources to putting it down. His heavy-handed methods backfired on him, and he needed to be removed from power, but he certainly wasn't worse than what Castro turned out to be.
