Quora is just reddit but with even more fake scholarly authority.
Any question about social or political questions gets answers from “experts” who gaslight and lie about even obvious facts. No no, fascism isn’t conservative; it’s Hegelian therefore Marxist therefore leftist.
The "Fascism is neither left-wing or right-wing; it's ackchyually third position!" take is an overreaching misunderstanding of what the term "third position" was even intended to mean. "Third position" doesn't mean "third position relative to both left-wing and right-wing politics" as much as it's been used to mean "third position relative to both Marxism and free-market capitalism". Just because an ideology is, at least in theory, neither Marxist or free-market capitalist, does not mean it is neither left-wing or right-wing. Terms like left-wing and right-wing are often used to describe your attitude on equality. If you support a more egalitarian mode of society, you are generally regarded as left-wing. If you support a more hierarchical mode of society, regardless of your stance on matters like favoring a planned economy or not, you are generally regarded as right-wing. Unless these people want to grasp at straws to even attempt to claim that Nazis and fascists are not extremely hierarchical, arguing that they're anything but far-right is ludicrous and ultimately a game of semantics.
And this isn't to also make the mistake of many liberals, to believe that because fascists don't like theoretical free-market capitalism, that they don't like privatization, when fascists thrive in capitalism as it is practiced because it privatizes and then protects those privatized resources from the competition of the so-called 'free' market.
This is true. So many chuds, like Steven Crowder, point out the slightest indicator of Nazis not favoring a laissez-faire economy and use this to paint them as "socialists" (rofl). They still privatized a shit ton.
I just discovered that this "third positionist" concept is one used by neo-fascists according to Wikipedia, so I think it's clear this teenager on Quora has been on some fash websites. Probably just 4chan tbh
