Don't you know that social humilation and name calling is a technique that the fascists in Italy used to force their system on the public? It stifles public debate. Is that what you are trying to do?

I just agreed to a very logically laid out conclusion. If you accept that those conservatives who espouse the ultimate power of federal government to override every aspect of the government of the states can be labelled statist (I do), and if you accept that many conservatives are what you would call "right wing" socially (many are), then the conclusion that they are facist in nature is a sound one.

Statist: practice or doctrine of giving a centralized government control over economic planning and policy.

Statism has nothing to do with the power struggle between states rights and the federal goverment, the term you are actually searching for is federalism.

I also do not accept that many conservatives are "right wing" although being right is much better than being left.

Right Wing:
the rightist division of a group or party
Right
RIGHTEOUS, UPRIGHT
CORRECT
SUITABLE, APPROPRIATE
STRAIGHT
GENUINE, REAL

Left wing:
the leftist division of a group (as a political party)
Left
