→Left or right?
According to [[George Orwell]], "the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else".<ref>George Orwell: ‘What is Fascism?’ First published: ''Tribune''. London., 1944. Reprinted: ''The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell’.' 1968..</ref> Hence the confusion, as to whether it's left or right! --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 10:24, March 11, 2022 (EST)

:My two cents: the confusing ideology of leftism has made it so. More evidence of the flawed Left-Right paradigm.
:Left-Right paradigm seeks to pigeon human history, traditions and complex ideologies into a simplified system targeting children with a rule of thumb, "Left = good, Right = bad" with no further study or analysis. It's a ridiculous argument. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Let's Go Brandon!]]</sup> 11:16, March 11, 2022 (EST)
