  1. +Jovan Emeric "Ending slavery, every creation of every republican government, the end of monopolies, the improvement of working conditions, the end of child labour, stopping the Nazis, the list goes on." No, ending slavery, the creation of the US, stopping the Nazis, were originally were the forms in their time of what we would call today conservative/libertarian thought. The leftist Progressives, like Woodrow Wilson, were advocates of socialism, Jim Crow laws, and the eugenics movement which was a openly cited precursor to the eugenics policies of the 3rd Reich. US progressives were the intellectual heirs, and in most cases the descendants, of the 19th century Democrats who fought to preserve slavery. Before the war, FDR and Mussolini were openly admiring all over each other, recognizing their common goal of implementing leftist ideas and expanding the scope and power of government. Hitler had a lot of nice things to say about FDR before the war, and based his early antisemitic discriminatory laws expressly on the US Democrat/progressive/leftist Jim Crow laws. Fascism and Nazism were understood universally at the time to be LEFTIST political movements. Lenin congratulated Mussolini when Mussolini took power in Italy. The notion that fascism is a movement of the right is a propaganda triumph of damage control after the Nazis "gave eugenics a bad name".
