    liberalism = left wing bourgeois ideology (i.e the "center-right")

    conservatism = right wing bourgeois ideology (i.e. "the right")

    fascism = far right bourgeois ideology that pretends to be proletarian ideology (i.e. the "alt right")

    socialism/anarchism/communism = working class proletarian ideology (i.e. the "true left")

    this is why i don't care for the "left/right" distinction since it was born in the french parliament in the 1700s, and only ever pertained to the political division within the property-owning classes. In America it's especially bad since no distinction is made between anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan. To the American conservative, Joe Biden and Che Guevara might as well be the same person.
