Even if all the spiffy new AI search tools insist otherwise.
There is a constant harangue from left-wing politicians and complicit media that Trump and his administration are fascists and that MAGA, ICE, and anyone else they don’t like are Nazis.
When you ask Gemini A.I., Duck A.I., and Wikipedia, “Is fascism right-wing?”, the answer is yes; fascism is considered right-wing. Co-pilot says yes, it is right-wing, and then says it has left-wing aspects as well, and then concludes that it is right-wing. What?
A Wikipedia Overview via A.I. comes up with this: “Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology ...”
Dinesh D’Souza said on a PragerU video that the Nazi regime was redefined after WWII from left-wing to right-wing. His reasoning, summarized, is that political and academic leaders wanted to ensure that their collectivist (socialist) beliefs were separated from the horrors of Hitler’s regime. It appears the redefining was successful.
Emmanuel Rincón wrote “There’s No Denying the Socialist Roots of Fascism” in 2021. This article looks at fascism not as a list of words, but through the actions of the fathers of fascism: Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile. Together they wrote the “doctrine of fascism.” Gentile said, “Fascism is a form of socialism; in fact, it is its most viable form.” The Fascist Party broke with the Italian Socialist Party, but mainly in rhetoric. They moved steadily toward the collective. The fascist Italian government first nationalized the arms industry. Private property in practice was eliminated. They did not own the means of production or fully control the economy, but they dominated it. Businesses were run by individuals, but to keep that business, the business had to serve the state.

One of my pet peeves too.
Easily the most impression propaganda feat in the 20th century was somehow convincing most people that the “National Socialist Party” wasn’t socialist.
It’s truly impressive gaslighting.
There is an argument to be made that placing conservatives on “the right” is a bigger problem than placing Nazis on “the right”.
The big government spectrum has no room for limited government types.
“Fascist!” is the name-calling of the Communist. It always has been.
All AI does is take all the garbage that’s spread out over the internet and spit out a conclusion. It’s basically programmed what it’s told. It’s the same as programming kids in a classroom.
There is little difference between communism and fascism. The right wing believes in limited government—the opposite of fascism.
“Easily the most impression propaganda feat in the 20th century”
yeah but, the truly best propaganda move . . .
The Devil convincing folks he doesn’t exist.
Peace to you my friend.
“Bundle of Sticks” (collectivism, not individualism) was Mussolini’s nickname for Fascism.
“The fasces symbolism with the inclusion of just a single-headed ax, with the blade exposed from the twigs or rods, was also developed in Republican Rome. The ax signified that the magistrate’s executive authority included capital punishment.
This fasces symbol has survived the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire to become the representation of governmental power that we see today.”
That has nothing to do with Capitalism, which puts the individual at the top, not the collective (bundle of sticks).
The left successfully conflated “fascism” with “racism,” which was the actual moral failing of German fascism. Mussolini had a Jewish mistress, and his regime was tolerant of Jews until he was forced to join Hitler in WWII.
Socialism, Fascism, Communism ... the leftist parade.
The big lies like this are the favorite tools of the enemies of freedom.
Right-wingers believe in individual freedoms.
Left-wingers believe in the supremacy of the state.
It’s obvious that fascism is a left-wing ideology.
But, wait. The fascists of the 1930s had fancy military uniforms.
So now I don’t know what to think.
