I've studied politics at length over the years and I've seen racist, reactionary, Neanderthal, fascist leanings,ideals, and practices from both the extreme right and the extreme left. Seeing that this is a constitutional republic,that type of behavior has no place here and shouldn't exist but unfortunately it does. The right and left are good at blaming each other and going out of their way to do it, but it seems that neither side is doing much to stop it. So here we are, having to sit back and watch the same scenes play out day, after day, after day, after day. Kinda like a badly made C movie.
Fascism is a species of socialism. This has been explained to you several times in other threads. The right believes in free markets. Fascism doesn't. The right believe in liberty. Fascism doesn't.
"Far right" is a nonsense term. It doesn't really mean anything because it refers to a wide variety of people with very different views. Leftism is a philosophy of collectivism and conformity so its adherents are more or less the same. The right is a philosophy of individuality and non conformism and therefore its adherents have ideas that are very very diverse.
If you want to understand the world, your opinions need to be a bit more nuanced than the simplistic definitions you find in a dictionary.
It's very interesting to compare the dictionary definitions of fascist and communist at www.dictionary.com. Very telling.
Fascist - A person who IS dictatorial or HAS extreme right wing views. Communist - A person who IS REGARDED as supporting politically leftist or subversive causes.
To the author of this dictionary a fascist is someone who is extreme (i.e. objective language with condemnation, as it should be). No condemnation can be found in their definition of communist. We only find soft subjective language.
So it's pretty clear where the author's political views lie, isn't it?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. That was said long ago. That little adage has been the foundation of making it up as you go along for centuries. The same applies for failed political philosophy such as the left espouses. The left cobbles together a hodge podge of misinformation and outright dishonesty and becomes shrill in their hysteria when it's challenged. It's almost comical the way they unleash the intolerance about things they wouldn't recognize(nor understand) if it bit 'em on the butt. So you make it up as you go along and hope your house of cards won't be brought down by facts.
