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!
jimmyray,
Thanks for the discussion. It started out a little rocky, but we kept it civil. You had me searching as well.
Well, it is late here, so I'm signing off for the night.
Until later,

PS: I still think you should read Goldberg's book. :-)
