Is fascism far-right?

[HisGrace]

Fascism doesn't really fit onto the left-right political spectrum in my book. It's certainly not conservative it's a revolutionary ideology about rebuilding society from the ground up to harness the people's collective will or whatever. Fascist states also generally had planned economies. They weren't communists as there were still private businesses, but despite what some edgelords would tell you the only economic philosophies are not communist and right wing. I'd say fascism is socially authoritarian on a broad level (which does not necessarily= conservative) combined with a heavily regulated mixed economy.

It depends on how you think of the political spectrum. If you consider it in regards to things like order, hierarchy, equality, the desire to preserve or return to some idealised social structure (one of the defining features of fascism is the idealisation of a mythologised historical greatness), the Fascism can only be understood as being at the very right end of the political spectrum.

Isn’t fascism more revolutionary than reactionary, if not in theory, then in practice?

Most the people in this thread aren't interested in giving this serious thought.
