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.
in the USA, it just hasnt been enforced recently. in plenty of other countries it is the case or they try to make it the case every year like in czechia

You will note that there is an empty period from 49 to 2019
more like a yawning maw. so excited for when the next republican (or who am i kidding maybe dem) administration decides to start enforcing this. maybe after jd second thought decides to run for office or something as a wholesome communist
Looks like they're in order by state rather than chronologically, so there's actually been 3 since 1949, and all at the city level lmao
Cue shock
