[Tell It Right]

In his analysis, Hicks examines the ideological similarities between certain right-wing authoritarian movements (his idea, not mine), such as fascism and Nazism, and socialism. He argues that these movements share a collectivist foundation, focusing on the subordination of individual rights to the goals of the state or the collective.

The fact that fascism and Nazism "focusing on the subordination of individual rights to the goals of the state or the collective" make them, by definition, left-wing movements, not right-wing movements. Don't fall for the revisionist history relabeling of past left-wing groups as "right-wing".

Indeed. I never understand the logic of this.

If communism is the absolute control of everythign by the state, and are called left, then the OPPOSITE is anarchy, not “fascism”. Hence, being right-wing we are closer to anarchy - freedom.

I despise this construct and don’t know how that got started.

I don’t fall for anything. Hayek is not a revisionist historian.
