we can find proofs in historic on precises and adequate facts and political fact where was fascism on the left and right.
some historical points :
war of Spain : a pure ideological war the Spanish left ( republicans, anarchists, socialists, etc... ) against the Spanish far right ( franco, the militaries and reactionaries ). Fascists and nazis sided with ...far right against the left.
And nobody at this time was not surprise, this is why Franco and is other Europeans relatives , from the far right, were labeled fascists at this time.
Well far right 1 - left wing -1
the position in the political assembly :
fascists and nazis sat their ass on the far right side of their respective assembly.
This is the second proof that they were self identified as far right.
far right 2 - left wing -2
target of assassination : if you look who was targeted for assassination you can see clearly on which side they are and who are their greatest enemies.
The first target of fascists and nazis were left wing leaders : socialists, or social democrats, union leaders, left wing intellectuals etc...
Then the first enemy of the fascists is the left, like for all far right movements.
If you look the history of the fascism in Italy at its beginning, it is all about violent conflict with the Left, but propaganda doesn't care about facts.
far right 3 - left wing -3
proof by the political alliances in the assemblies : as parties on the far right side they made alliance with the right wing, the conservatives, the great bourgeoisie, etc... this is not what do Left Wing parties, but only right wing parties.
far right 4 - left wing - 4
on the ideological side :
The left versus right antagonism is an ideological antagonism then an antagonism of values, principles, etc... The bases were given at the time of the French revolution, and developed/extended with socialism + (Marx + Engels) on economic side along the 19th century.
Fascism main values are Order, Hierarchy, Identity, like all far right ideologies, while left wing values are Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, the exact antagonists values.
Far right 5 - Left Wing -5
From the French Revolution the antagonism of power is :
right wing = rule of one or a minority over the majority.
left wing = shared power for all (democratic power).
Again fascism fits with the right wing side, against the left side.
far right 6 - left wing -6
From this point we can see on economic power where fits fascism, nazism, etc...
Real socialist ideologies, with Marx, Engels, etc... are based on the left wing power : a collective power of all the members of the enterprise, or democratic economic power. Then Left wing parties defend collective organization of workers for defending their rights against the power of the capitalist, and it is called unions.
Capitalism was built on the power of some capitalist over the great number of workers, and is defended by right wing parties. The more they are on the right side, the more parties are against union, or any form of sharing power with workers.
Under fascism and nazis workers had no right, like under the savage capitalism of the 19th century that was the focus of the fight of socialism , unions were forbidden. Fascism begin with a liberal economy with a limited state, hand in hand with great industrial, nazi had worked hand in hand with great industry , German and American too. Their economic politic is typically right wing politic on the economic side too. The exploitation of peoples in the camps , like slaves is a far right politics while left wing are against all form of slavery .
Far right 7 - left wing - 7
argument by the state , fascism is left wing because of the state?:
the state is an institution created by authoritarian, hierarchised society, defended by far right peoples (reactionaries)
On the other side the more left wing ideologies ( socialist/communist anarchism, Marx, and several socialist thinker ) are for the abolition of the state.
This is not the state that define left or right but the form of the state :
regalian state with strong police and army, with authoritarian policies and war politics , focus on the order of the society ( including capitalist order ) = right wing state.
soft state based on education, social protection, defense of workers, etc... focus on the well being of the members of the society = left wing state.
Fascism fits , for sure, in the first category, it is a right wing state, the type of state that Marx, Bakunin , etc.... wanted destroyed.
Far right 8 - Left wing -8
Nobody in the 30's with rational mind would put fascist and nazis on the left side, but peoples in the 21th years have lost accurate political culture do this absurd amalgams. This video just plays with false amalgams of concepts. Confusion of one thing with its opposite, it is madness by definition, or manipulation if its voluntary.

@nandorblue
the best proof :
Stalin has persecuted and executed peoples defending socialism, Marx, anarchism, etc...
Stalin has persecuted ALL the historic revolutionaries from 1917.
Marx was about dictatorship BY the worker FOR the workers, stalin is about dictatorship by himself OVER the worker.
Marx and left wing ideologies are about collective power, not the power of a dictator.
This is the base for the division Left versus Right since the French Revolution power for all against power of one or some.
Left Wing, and socialism ( including Marx ) were about democratic power. Then stalinism is not left wing.
There is no relation between the philosophy of Marx and the stalinism, the philosophy of Marx is based on autonomy, the emancipation of the worker, stalinism is based on the heteronomy of the power, of the society.
Marx is about the destruction of the economic exploitation, stalin was the come back of the economic exploitation.
If you ask the questions then it means that you don't know stalinism or Marx, or both.

Fascism is against communism, socialism, worker's unions, democracy, universal suffrage, equality, against freedom of women, against racial equality, against a world of peace.
Fascism is for order, hierarchy, identity, rule of one , sexism, war, working hand in hand with capitalists .
Beign for sexism , identity, etc.. do not make them anti conservatives, they are anti progressives in fact.
Pinochet and mussolini had economic politic based on economic liberalism, abolition of worker's unions, abolition of worker's rights. They have arrested, assassinated left wing peoples.
They are definitively far right.
Anti communism is not left wing.
reactionaries are against communism, liberalism , and they are far right.

@paddystrongjaw9995
fascit is far right, it is all about order and hierarchy , nationalism , and destruction of the left, assassination of socialists.
The fascist party was on the far right side of the italian party, they were self identified as far right!!!!!!!!!!.
IN the Spanish War, fascists were with the far right side, with the nazi against all the left wing and stalinians.
Fascism in Europe is symbol of far right,.
Etc...
Fascism is far right , this is the basic political history, other claims are based on ignorance.

But on ideological point of view fascism is antagonist to left wing ideologies.
The left right antagonism is given by the strong ideological antagonism of the French revolution between the Republicans, democrats, egalitarians , and the Monarchist, anti-democrats , for social hierarchies, defenders of the old society , the power of the king, etc...
All the big ideological clashes left versus right, involve two antagonisms :
- Autonomy (individuals, humans , are the drive of the society ) versus heteronomy ( the drive of the society is external and superior to the individual ). fascism fits at 100% in the right side for this thematic, heteronomy.
- Inclusion of all peoples as human being, as individual, ( in humanity, in society, in control of property, in control of power, in healthcare, etc.... ) versus exclusion of some or the great majority of peoples ( from humanity, from power, from property, from healthcare, from education, from freedom, etc.... ) , by focusing on hierarchy fascism fits 100% on the right side too. This is why fascism is a far right ideology , and is incompatible with left wing.
left fascism is an oxymoron.

@allentompkins4063
woaw so many lines for defending ignorance in political knowledge, and so many wrong claims.
you are very delusional.
I let you with your ignorance.
Left right antagonism read by Americans is just so stupid and wrong.
Invoking American politician show that you are out of subject, and that you don't speak about left versus right , but a false spectrum based on ignorance .
You don't understand the strong antagonism between socialism and fascism, then all what you say is worthless.
History and political sciences debunk all what you say.
Given that it is a fact that fascist party, like nazi party, is a far right party, and it is easy to find, but you lack of the skills for finding real information.
Given that it is an history fact that socialism and fascism were ennemy.
I just have to read the history of the Spanish war to know that all what you say is wrong. Spanish war was an ideological war between the Spanish left against the Spanish far right allied with the nazis and fascists.
And when we read your lies we should think that fascist should be on the side of the socialists, while they were their enemies.
Then history debunks all your long message.
You believe in lies and ignorance, the Spanish war is the best proof.

@allentompkins4063
limit of intellgince, well you speak about yourself.
People who claim that an ideology is the same that its antagonist ideology is stupid , lack of intelligence.
Nazism is what hate socialism , and socialism is what hate nazism.
nazis are for hierarchy, socialists are for equality, it is antagonist point of view. Any peoples with a minimum of intelligence understand that this two ideolgies just with this fact are antagonist and don't belongs to the same ideological family.
But noooo you are too stupid for understanding this basic thing.
Confusion of antagonist things is sign of craziness and lack of intelligence.
You are too stupid for understanding that what define an ideology is its values, its relations of power, its social relations, etc..., then that two ideology with antagonist values are not friends but enemies.
You are too stupid for understanding that left wing, socialism, progressive are defined in Western country, and then all what you say about the subject with your narrow American view
Stop to answers you are too stupid.
So stupid that you speak about yourself only.
So stupid that you can't explain why giving that the War of Spain was the ideological war between the radical left and the far right, fascists and nazis were allied with the far right.

fascism is a far right ideology that was driven by destruction of socialism....
It is history.
Only ignorant of the late decades can believe that fascism can be left wing.
fascism like other wright wing ideologies are about political, social, economic hierarchies, for reduction of rights of workers in the enterprise bring by left wings , they are against equality.
Under right wing capitalism the drive of the enterprise is something external and viewed as superior to the individual workers : private profit.
With right wing religious conservative the drive of the society is something external and superior to the individual : the religion, god, tradition.
for the right wing racists like the KKK, the drive of the society must be something external and superior to the individual : the race.
All fascism is about a society driven by something external and superior to the individual. This is the definition of authoritarianism.
On the other hand real left wing ideologies, like the European left wing, including socialist parties, are about a society driven by the human, the individual, even if he is poor, he does not have private property, it care about the education of the individual, about the health of the individual, about his well being.
Then fascism does not belong to the left wing ideologies, but is just plain far right ideology.

@Humanity Galatica
did not said that italian fascism was about racism, but racism was added at the end of the 30's.
fascists area against worker's rights, this is the feature of all fascism. This is one major complaint from labor unions.
Healthcare was not allowed to disabled peoples ( they were killed ), to jews, etc... , by nazis.
Education of fascism is based on the exclusion of the Other from the Community, no fascist education without exclusion of a category of peoples, fascist education forms soldiers. Left wing education is for everyone and promote peaceful values and knowledge for all.
Education is a tool, what define the ideology is what you make with the toll.
Same thing like with the state.
The mentally confusing socialism and fascism is the same that would call murderers any surgeons because they have a scalpel like jack the reaper. It takes the tools for the purpose.
What define an ideology is the purpose.
Socialism and fascism have antagonist purposes. One gives autonomy to the workers , the other deprive the workers of any autonomy. One seek to create a society with limited conflicts, end of hierarchies, etc... , fascism enhance conflict and hierarchy. Etc....
private owners of capital keep property and privileges, the enterprise prevails over workers then it is capitalism.
autonomous syndicalism is forbidden.
This is why in the 30's Churchill had praised Mussolini, while for all the left, and the socialists in particular, fascism is the enemy in addition to the end of democracy.
It is not national syndicalism, it is corporatism, like in the feudal society : members of an economic sector are tied to the interest of the corporation with authoritarian structure.
Corporatism is condemned by socialism.
Fascism is against socialism ( see above ), this is why they kill socialists, this is why they hate socialism, and this is why socialist hate fascism.
Frankly your denying of the knowledge of the left right antagonism is horrible, it is just the expression of ignorance of ideologies.

@Humanity Galatica
There is a racist background in the nationalism of the fascism, because race is the stronger bind , and source of exclusion of non member of the nation, for nationalist point of view. But the general organization was less focused on racism than with nazism. Among fascists movements racism is a common trend.
Fascists are against workers rights. Workers rights is a left wing thing, and they hate left wing.
They have removed any possibility of autonomy to workers, they could not make unions or strike.
Fascism economy protect economic inequality and privileges of the owners of the capital. For protecting capitalist profit fascists lower the wage.
Fascists were allied with economic elites, and their members were more owners than workers. Fascism ( in Italy and elsewhere , like in Germany ) was seen as a shield against a socialist or communist evolution by the economic elites.
There was some privatizations under fascism.
Fascist propaganda about education, is stupid and worthless. Try better if you don't want look stupid.
Saying blatant false claim about fascism and autonomy of worker make you a joker.
If i want know thing about fascism i read documents , and this documents say always the opposite of what you say.
Your false claims can't explain the hate of socialism and communism by Marxism, if fascism is what you claim.
You don't understand fascism and socialism, this is the sad reality. Nothing of what you said is accurate.
