Fascism and Nazism are Left wing, NOT Right wing.
The ideologies of Fascism and Nazism have NO logical relationship to the Conservative ideology of smaller and decentralized government, personal Rights, and individual Liberty. In the same vein as Socialism and Marxism, Fascism (and Nazism) are both Statist and Collectivist right to their very their core, pursuing an idealism of a centralized and authoritative government with total control over all aspects of society and the economy. Again, this does not in any way reflect Conservative ideology and ideals, however, it does mesh well with the ideology of the Democratic Party.
Wikipedia describes Fascism as characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. This in no way reflects Conservative ideals or the platform of the Republican Party.
Fascism was born in the early 20th century of a political philosophy that combined Socialism/Marxism, and Progressivism. The de facto founder of Fascism was the political theorist Giovanni Gentile, who drew his ideas for Fascism from Marx, Hegel, Fichte, and other Marxist, Socialist and Progressive theorists, and provided the source of Benito Mussolini's own Italian Fascism. Giovanni Gentile was later a ranking member of the Italian Fascists, and ghost-wrote part of Mussolini's 'The Doctrine of Fascism'.
All of the above have had and continue to have great appeal to the elitist Democratic Party. Why Because Liberal Progressivism is the bastard child of Fascism and Socialism. At the heart of Progressivism is the belief that the best way to create progress and shape morality is not through God, religion, or individualism, but through a Collectivist, Statist application of government and regulations (think 'Prohibition').
In fact, prominent Democrats/Leftists like FDR, Neville Chamberlain, Joe Kennedy Sr., W. E. B. DuBois, Oswald Mosley, &c had only praise and admiration for Adolf Hitler, the Third Reich, Benito Mussolini, the Italian Fascists, and Nazi Fascism as they were rising to power in the first half of the 20th Century and leading up to the start if WWII, and for some, like Joe Kennedy Sr. and Oswald Mosley even beyond that.
And, in return, the Fascists and especially Adolf Hitler and the Nazis loved American Leftists and Democratic Party policies such as segregation, and the Jim Crow Laws, which the Third Reich used as the model to craft their own legal policies of enforced discrimination.
And, Nazis STILL do!
The neo-Nazi group 'Blood Tribe' publicly stated their support for Joe Biden.
And, later again ...
White supremacist/Nazi Richard Spencer TWICE endorsed Joe Biden for president. Interestingly enough, Biden never disavowed.
And, the KKK endorsed Hillary for 2016, and they donated $20K to her campaign. She never disavowed their endorsement, nor did she return the money!
Those on the political Right support small government, property rights, Individualism, Liberty, free enterprise, personal responsibility, Meritocracies, free-will, and self-determination, &c. Fascism opposes all of these because they are Socialist in nature. And, Hitler and the Nazis were Socialists. Make no mistake about that.
"Nazism" is "National Socialism" which arose from the "National German Workers' Party". Later Adolf Hitler, himself, added the word "Socialist" making it the 'National Socialist German Workers' Party' (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP)). All of which leads us to yet another inconvenient historical fact: Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were Socialists. You can deny it all you want, but it doesn't change the FACTS. This admission of being Socialists comes directly from none other than Adolf Hitler himself:
"Socialism is the science of dealing with the common weal [health or well-being]. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists.
Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common weal. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality and, unlike Marxism, it is patriotic.
We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party. We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists. We are not internationalists. Our Socialism is national. We demand the fulfilment of the just claims of the productive classes by the State on the basis of race solidarity. To us, State and race are one." - Adolph Hitler to George Sylvester Viereck for Liberty magazine (July 9th 1932).
Don't believe this quote Well, here's the interview, EXACTLY as it was published in 1932 ...
In essence, THIS is what Hitler was getting at ...
Here's a Nazi monument proudly proclaiming the Third Reich's Socialist ideology.
And, today's Democrats continue to openly support Nazi groups such as Hamas, and other radical muslim groups
Along with Ukraine. And, yes, Ukraine REALLY IS chock-full of Neo-Nazis. Even the civilians and children.
First, the Ukrainian military:
And now, the Ukrainian people:
In conclusion, Fascism and Nazism are LEFT-WING, and are not a part of the ideology of the political Right, Conservatives, the Republican Party or MAGA.
