::Furthermore, the Conservapedia article on [[Fascism]] states it to be a far-right ideology, and states Nazism to be a type of fascism. I rest my case. [[User:ArnoldLarny|ArnoldLarny]] 18:13, 12 July 2009 (EDT)

:::[[Arthur Schlesinger]] wrote in 1948,
::::"The Fascists, for example, were not conservative in any very meaningful sense. They did not wish to preserve the existing order, or even to turn back the clock to some more stable century. They purposefully planned to transform the existing order into a new and all-absorbing authoritarianism, based upon the energies and frustrations of modern industrialism. The Fascists, in a meaningful sense, were revolutionaries. Yet their totalitarian ideal hardly fitted into the pattern of the Left, which had been the traditional home of greater freedoms and more generous aspirations. '''''So, after boggling and uncertainty, they were assigned positions on the far Right.'''''"<ref>[http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/schlesinger-notrightleft.html Not Right, Not Left, But a Vital Center], [[Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.]], ''New York Times Magazine'', April 4, 1948.</ref>

::::Pretty weak endorsement from such a noted historian for the position you are espousing. ''Assigned'' by who? and basically stating, because fascist views conflicted with their totalitarian cousins views, they were ''assigned'' to "the right" by leftist by default.
