Good read. Mussolini make the point that it elevates the State to the highest point. Classic Marxism denies the state, but virtually every Communist country espouses the State over all else.
So, in practice, Communism and fascism obtain their ends via the State, and conservatives and libertarians obtain their ends via the individual. If we separate left and right along who controls us, Fascism and Nazism wind up on the left.
All said, I recognize arguments for placing Fascism on the left end of the political spectrum, as well as maintaining it on the right end. Truth is, it does not fit cleanly in either place, but appears to be an amalgamation of some points from both mindsets. Up until now, when I have heard the term Fascism, I had only thought of the extremist views that could be cast on the right, but now have learned to be more comprehensive in my understanding.
This is yet another reason why FR love. I mean, why else would I be reading Mussolini, Hitler and the National Socialist Manifesto on a Sunday night? Most educational!
