Star Wars. Harry Potter. Hunger Games. All hang leftist oppression onto a fascist “rightist” hook. Classic psychological projection.
Yeah, no kidding (especially when fascism is actually of the left). Though ironically enough, of the three, the Empire actually CAN make a claim to being rightist in the monarchist manner, or at least the Francisco Franco manner. In the old Expanded Universe at least, it was actually pro-free markets (just look at the Corporate Sector, which had its territories expanded under the Empire, and the Empire actually allowed them to do transparent mercantilism without any interference. At least, that’s what the Imperial Handbook: A Commander’s Guide claimed), something fascism and communism clearly aren’t.
