don't you have better things to do than shitpost here?
It's sort of a valid point. I've argued before that Hitler sat just left of center.

And everyone equating Fascism and Nazism in the modern age is sort of irritating to me.
The point is completely invalid though and makes it sound like their beliefs and methods are okay. Who gives a fuck what side of the spectrum it's on, they're a bunch of retards that shouldn't be given any moral equivalency or platform to speak.

And even then, people say they're to the right for the obvious reasons that they have more radical beliefs that the Republicans have.

I always thought it was the leftists that always wanted to change society. That makes them radicals.

It's pretty bizarre that fascism is considered right-wing to begin with. Huge government? Planned economy? And anarchists are on the left, despite being extreme libertarians? The whole concept of a linear left/right spectrum is defunct

What I'm more confused with is why it clashes with Communism so much when they seem to have a lot of similar traits.

Yeah, far-right should be anarchy. The more you go right, the smaller the government.

It might be because the flip we had over here with Democrats and Republicans in terms of social issues. The left was for big government and used to support slavery and Jim Crow. It all more or less changed when FDR made his New Deal and it sorta flipped. It finally was done with LBJ broke off Jim Crow and Republicans gained the white vote.

So Nazis, at least Neo-Nazi's here in the US, want smaller government but also want social issues that are radical on the right side.
