== Left or right? ==
I'm confused. I should have taken some political science courses! The Nazis hated communism, and are described as fascist and of the far-right in most places. Furthermore [[Mussolini]] described himself as of the right:
:: If it is admitted that the nineteenth century has been the century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy, it does not follow that the twentieth must also be the century of Liberalism, Socialism and Democracy. Political doctrines pass; peoples remain. It is to be expected that this century may be that of authority, a century of the "Right," a Fascist century. <ref>[http://www.historyguide.org/europe/duce.html "Mussolini, Doctrine of Fascism (1932)"]</ref>
But [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]], while I've heard of the [[Frankfurt School]], unlike you I haven't studied it (I'm certainly not "pushing" anything).. That both communists and fascists believe in one party rule makes it difficult to distinguish them. Putin, once a loyal communist, might now be classified as a fascist. Phrases like "leftist fascist liberals", add to the confusion, and would have interested [[George Orwell]]. I'm trying to better understand what fascism really is, and how it might resemble communism. On another point, I thought America always claimed to be the leader of the Democratic world. Therefore, I find your emphasis, Pokeria1, on it being a [[constitutional republic]] intriguing. --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 11:18, February 14, 2022 (EST).
