Sorry to do this debate-bro stuff, but how would you respond to someone who says fascism is left-wing?
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=qOsVqXMFAdg is two rightists talking is fascism left or right, and Gerard Casey concludes that fascism is left-wing. He cites the Fascist Manifesto of 1919, which in fairness does look pretty left-wing, is mostly about worker benefits.
Counterpoints I can think of:
-
Fascism is inegalitarian.
-
Fascism is oppressive
-
Fascism is about privatisation – but I'm not very clued in on the history of this, on what industries fascist governments privatised and how consistent they were with this. Did they also nationalise other industries?]
-
Unask the question, say 'left' and 'right' are meaningless
Again, sorry about this. Obviously not trying to defend fascism, just trying to get clarity.
this is a good answer
