| Were Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco Conservatives? |
As far back as I can remember, over the course of my lifetime, I have heard it said all around me that: "
Fascism is [by definition] a product of
The Political Right," "Leftists have never embraced such socially damaging systems of Totalitarian and Authoritarian Control," and "It is the natural and militant outgrowth of:
Fundamental Conservatism,
Zealous Patriotism,
Unrestrained Capitalism, and
Purist Judeo-Christian Religion." Many, are quite adamant upon these particular points. But is this entirely [or even partially] true? Is
Fascism really a product of
The Political Right, or is it of The Left?
When studying the world's
great fascists, from a distance, it becomes apparent that certain elements of:
Conservatism,
Patriotism,
Capitalism, and
Religion are essentially involved and largely employed by such a
Totalitarian and Authoritarian Leadership. With respect to the "
New Fascist Status Quo:" they will kill anyone who dares to question them, they demand total nationalistic loyalty, industry immensely benefits by the production of new military armaments, and religion becomes just another useful manipulative tool of the state.
