@acsiata absolutely! Fascism (which includes nazism) is left wing - as much an outgrowth of socialism as it was a reaction against it. Both Hitler and Mussolini hated capitalism as much as the Soviets, but Hitler and Mussolini also hated communism. The communists wanted to unite the world - in accordance with the Marxist slogan "workers of the WORLD unite" whereas the fascists were all about "the NATION" - that's why Hitler called his party the National Socialist party - his OWN version of socialism. It was Mussolini who called this brand of socialism fascism. Both these men believed that a nation needed a leader to control things. They thought the Soviet style government was way too extreme and inefficient. The fascists were all about big government - they controlled their economy by keeping their big fat thumbs on all facets of business. Mussolini's Corporate State was the centerpiece of fascist economic ideology. His primary concern was, much like Hitler’s would be over a decade later, government control of national economic and political stability. Each had their own way of controlling the economy . . . just like the American democrats have their own way of wanting to control the economy. The end goal of the fascists AND the American democrats is to control capitalism by way of government interference of the private sector (big government). So while a small faction of the current American democrat party wants to go full communist, most of it is playing by the fascist playbook. The American Democrat Party is fascist. It's the reason why they keep pushing Bernie in a corner. They really don't want communism in America. However, ALL the democrats (even those with communist sympathies) are making themselves look more likable by continuing to call themselves a democracy. They may use the title democratic-socialists because it sounds more plausible than fascism or socialism or communism. The biggest joke is that all of them have been trying to convince us that fascism is right wing - it's NOT! The American democrat party is straight up fascist and they are pushing back on the full blown communist element infiltrating their midst. One or the other is going to win unless the right stands up against these cancers.

Socialism's mantra was workers of the "world" unite. Pure socialism was too extreme for Hitler and Mussolini. They were all about "the nation." That's why Hitler called it National Socialism (Mussolini called it Fascism). Either way, Hitler's National Socialism and Mussolini's Fascism sought government controlled capitalism. It was what we today refer to as left-wing big government - kinda like where half the democrat party in America wants to take us. The other half wants pure socialism.
