re: #80 Kenneth

Fascism is a Leftist ideology. The Nationalist Socialist Workers Party of Germany was an organization of the left. Mussolini was a Socialist before he joined the Fascists.

Sorry, that’s just not true. All of Hitler’s alliances were with the right wing. After World War One, he joined the right-wing Bavarian German Workers’ Party, which then changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Hitler then worked to assimilate other far right German parties, eventually being appointed chancellor precisely because he was so successful at this.

The National Socialist party started as a right wing organization, and had almost nothing in common with socialist left wing parties.
