There is no such thing as "f ar ri ght fa sci sm". Fa scis m was an aut horitari an f ar-le ft, soc iali st ideology.

@MelioraCogito "Never fails to amuse me by the intellectual gymnastics it must take for people to equate fas cis m with “f ar-le ft ideol ogy.” " Such as? When it comes to the linear spectrum, you cannot have 2 authoritarian so cial ist ideologies in both ends of the spectrum ... since then it's not a spectrum anymore, hun.

@MelioraCogito "What differentiates the left and the rig ht is the degree of social verses individual responsibility (colle ctive verses indepen dent action)." The fundamental differences between le ft-wi ng and rig ht-wi ng ideolo gies center around the the rights of individ uals vs. the power of the government. Left-wing beliefs are liberal in that they believe society is best served with an expanded role for the go vernment. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the gover nment is minimized.

@notimportant8097 : "Care to to share your working definition of fa sci sm?" Fa scis m was a political ideology and philosophy which rejected individualism, capita lism, liberal ism/dem ocracy, and marxi sm, in which the means of production was controlled by the Sta te (planned economy) and orga nized by national worker synd icals (i.e. tra de u nions).

@notimportant8097 " All of them classify f asci sm as a f ar-rig ht phenomenon. " And they are wrong and have no basis in history. Libe rtaria nism is a f ar-ri ght ideology, while f ascis m advocates for the exact opposite and since it was based on so ciali sm, it belongs to the far-le ft side on the political spectrum.

@notimportant8097 "by U m berto E co" Unfort unately Umb erto knows ab solutely not h ing about f asci sm. The re is already estab lished defi nition for fa sci sm, by Be nito Muss olini and Giov anni Ge ntile. Not only did they wrote a mani esto, they also wrote a bo ok which tells us the core tenets of fa scis m called "the Doc trine of Fa scis m".

@notimportant8097 "Yeah, one of the most trusted sources" "Trusted source"? Since when? Umbe rto was merely an ideologue, not even an historian. He also was a p re-te en when the W W2 and the fa sci st regime ended.

@Чёртик-э3т "If fascism is against Marxism, that means that fascism is on the opposite." Wrong. It means that Fascism was a rival socialist ideology and an alternative to Marxism, just like a movement in France called "yellow socialism" was.

@Чёртик-э3т "Also, fascism is ultranationalist, militaristic, racist, conservative and reactionary, which are far right " None of those things have anything to do with Right wing of any kind whatsoever. The fundamental differences between Left wing and Right wing ideologies center around the rights of individuals vs. the power of the collective. Left wing beliefs are based on the notion that society is best served with an expanded role for the collective in-group (collectivism). People on the Right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount (individualism) and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized. - The more Right you go, the more individual rights and liberties are allowed, hence resulting in an economic liberalization and eventually, Laissez-faire. - The more Left you go, the more collectivism is unleashed upon the society, hence resulting in an economic centralization and usually Socialism.

@notimportant8097 "F asci sm is the final evolution (or devolution) of fa r-rig ht reactionary movements by all accounts" Incorrect. Fa scis m has nothing to do with fa r-rig ht whatsoever. Fa sci sm was a branch of soc ialis m and belongs to the fa r-le ft end of the spectrum. The fundamental differences between left-wing and rig ht-w ing ideologies center around the the rights of individuals vs. the power of the gov ernment. Lef t-wing beliefs are lib eral in that they believe society is best served with an expanded role for the governm ent. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the gove nment is minimized.

To elaborate my original comment; Fascism was a totalitarian far-left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from a French Marxist, known as Georges Sorel (Sorelianism). It rejected individualism, capitalism, liberalism, democracy, and marxist interpretation of socialism ("class warfare"). Instead, it advocated for class collaboration where the means of production was organized by national worker syndicals (i.e. trade unions / Fascist Corporatism), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idealism (Neo-Hegelianism). Being an outgrowth of Sorelian Syndicalism, (which itself was an outgrowth from Marxist socialism), its idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the State, or "embody" the State (corpus = body). The purpose was the centralization and synchronization of society under the State, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State." As finalized by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile ("the Doctrine of Fascism"), Fascism came from the belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its "dictatorship of the proletariat" cannot be achieved, and that only the State can properly organize a socialist society. Therefore, Fascism cared about unity in a strong central government with society being brought together by syndicalist organizations obedient to the State.
